DLPC7540: DLPC7540 : How to change RGB Duty Cycles in the Sequence Sets

Part Number: DLPC7540
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP660TE, DLPC4422, , , DLP4710, DLPC4420, DLP780TE, DLPC900, DLP500YX, DLP670S
Hi Matt
I need your help to change Duty Cycles
for 3D printing Application, Only one led is enable and it's Duty Cycles is 100%
The Blue Led will be used usually  and Blue Duty Cycles is 100%
And Blue led will be off in the conversion time when 1_99 Sequence is enable because 1_99 Sequence is in default Color B
 
for example diplaying black image, DMD will convert to ON status for about 200uS  in each Frame, The brightness of the black image will be increased if led is not off . Conversely, the contrast of the device will be reduced
 
For the DLPC4422+DLP660TE 
Set 
R Duty Cycles = 0 
G Duty Cycles = 0
B Duty Cycles = 100
Result: Build and Test OK 
Now DLPC7540 current status:
Set 
R Duty Cycles = 0 
G Duty Cycles = 0
B Duty Cycles = 100
But Build error in the DLPC7540 composer project by using the same operation
Then Diable DynamicBlack but Error too
Can you guide me  to solve this problem because the method of DLPC4422 does not work
Thank you for any help
Best Regards
Jia
  • Hi Jia,

    Have you tried using the LED Variation calculation tool? Click the color bars on the right.

     

    Please note 100% blue duty cycle is not allowed here, but you can do something like I have shown above.

  • Hi Aaron

    I have tried to change the RGB Duty Cycles referring to you suggestion

    but it did not work

    do you have any other suggestions

    Need:

    Only one UV Led will be used for the 3D printing Application

    and the UV led will  consume all DMD time 

    So UV led Duty Cycles is 100

    Test: On the DLPC7540EVM 

    1. There are three Led EN signals 

    LED_EN_RED : to enable Red Led

    LED_EN_GRN : to enable Green Led

    LED_EN_BLU : to enable Blue Led

    The three signals are output alternately when all leds are enable

    not this three EN signals are On all time

    This mechanism is same to LightControl4710 or Pico 4710EVM

    This is Blue EN signal and I have changed Duty Cycles to R=G=15 B=70

    We all know Pico 4710EVM uses PAD3005 to drive RGB LEDs alternately 

    RGB Leds  share a drive circuit so can not be On at the same time

    Then I changed  RGB Duty Cycles to R=G=0 B=100 According to TI's suggestion

    and

    Use Blue EN signal to control/switch UV Led

    So I want to transplant the same configures to DLPC7540 from Pico DLP4710

    2 B0100 Bit Plane Allocation failed for R. There are no valid sequences in the database. Minimum bit-planes could not be determined.

    Build

    How can I delete the restriction of minimum duty cycles

    How can I build the composer project when changed the before configures

    PS:   The RGB Duty Cycles can be changed  in the all below three  projects and the version of Composer is 13.xx not 15.xx

    Pico DLP4710

    ECD DLPC4422 + DLP660TE

    ECD DLPC4420 + DLP780TE

    Thank you for any help

  • Hello Jia,

    The team is checking out the chipset capabilities. The challenge is that you are using the Display chipset for a 3D printing industrial application, so the feature set and capabilities are intentionally different. We will need more time to assess the options for you.

    Have you also looked at the DLPC900 + DLP500YX chipset?y

    Regards,

    Matt

  • Hi Matt

    Thank you for you information

    We have been developing DLPC900 x 2 + DLP670s /DLP500 products since early last year

    Optically compatible with DLP660te

    The product will be released in 2022Q3

    It will better if the RGB Duty Cycles can be changed to 3D printing Application

    I am waiting for your good news

    Thank you

    Best Regards

    Jia

  • Hi Jia,

    OK, thank you for the launch update. Good to see your industrial application doing well.

    Again, we will see what is possible with the RGB performance.

    Regards,

    Matt 

  • Hi Matt

    Thank your for help

    This demand directly determines the success or failure of the product

    Please help TI to add this function

    I am looking forward to your reply

    Thank you

    Best Regards

    Jia

  • Hi Jia,

    Now that you have the XPR working we can assess your current performance and make sure everything is robust and then plan the next steps.

    Regards,

    Matt

  • Hi Jia,

    We are looking at what is possible with the existing DLPC7540 software and firmware. The sequences and timing settings are fixed now for the best pixel and image quality performance, and I do not see us making changes any time soon.

    We should have an answer by tomorrow on how to get the most out of the operation. I would like to reply to you by email and close this thread. Please let me know if you are ok with that.

    Thanks,

    Matt

  • Hi Matt

    Thank you very much for your help

    It is OK for me and I agree with you to talk through email

    You know this special RGB Duty Cycles are required for industrial application, for.example 3D Printing

    I have to modify it, or else the optical contrast ratio will be decreased very much

    Thank you very much

    We are looking forward to your proposals

    Best Regards

    Jia
