4K UHD DLP

Guru 10570 points

Hi,

I am interested in 4K-UHD DLP.
www.ti.com/.../4K-UHD.page

Please provide informations if possible.

- How does it achieve the 4K projection using 2K pixel chip?
- Release schedule of documents, EVMs and RTM

Best regards, RY

  • Hi RY,

    Thanks for the interest. Each mirror pixel is used to create 2 projected pixels on the display, as the video from the link you posted describes. I will follow up on release plans for this device.

    Thanks again,
    Clinton
  • Clinton,

    Thank you for your following up. I understood.

    I am waiting your release plan.

    Best regards, RY

  • It has been almost a year since this post and more details are now publically available, so I would like to follow up with some details....

    A 2K (or 1080p) chip is not used in the TI 4K UHD design; the chip used is quite a bit larger than a 2K (or 1080p) chip.  A typical 1080p chip would have 2,073,600 pixels.  

    The chip used in TI's affordable 4K UHD solution has more than 4.15 million mirrors.  Each mirror is used in 2 positions to create 2 projected pixels, totaling more than 8.3 million displayed pixels.

    A few more details can be found here:
