Ask about TI's DLP chip

Journey,

Thank you for your interest in our DLP technology. We are constantly working to expand our offerings in our catalog of available parts. We welcome input from potential users concerning their needs. I would be interested to know what your application is in order to guide your selection more effectively.

If you would like to pursue this directly, off the forum, please let me know - so that we can discuss your questions confidentially.

The power required by the DLP chips is available in the data sheets. There is no single number, but depends on clock rates, etc. The simple answer, though, is that in applications which utilize LED illumination, the illumination power is the dominant factor, both in terms of power supply size and system thermal considerations.

Best regards,

Pascal,

Thank you for your quick reply.

First, what we want to do is to combine the function of projection into our cellphone. We want to use a low power consumption projection module. Since you said that the main factor of the power consumption(rather than power) of the projection module is the light source rather than the chips, could you tell me which company using DLP technology that can provide the most efficient projection module? We will be really happy if you can recommend us such kind of products.

Besides, can you tell me the advantages of DLP technology compared with other technology at chip level? Such as power consumption and so on. I have found that most of the applications use DLP, but there are someone choose LCoS and so on.

Best regards!

There are several possibilities for DLP modules. I would like to take that conversation private, if you would accept my friend request.

As for the advantages of DLP technology, I can mention a few:

• Speed
  • DLP mirrors can be switched very rapidly, making possible very high quality video
  • Mirror switching speed enables non-video applications, such as structured light for 3D measurement.
• Illumination efficiency
  • DLP technology does not depend on polarization (competing technologies, such as LCOS and LCD do depend on polarization). This gives DLP a huge advantage in the illumination efficiency, since half of the light does not have to be wasted because of polarization.
  • DLP allows polarization to be used to advantage, such as in 3D projection.
• Lifetime and durability
  • DLP chips do not yellow or dim with age.
  • Extensive track record of operation over long lifetimes.
  • DLP chips are rugged - can withstand vibration and acceleration better than alternatives.
• DLP technology enables solutions not addressable by other technologies.

Best regards,

Pascal

Pascal,

Thank you for your reply! Can you tell me you email address that we can talk privactly? I really have several questions to ask.

Best regards!

I sent you a "Friend" request. Please accept that, and I can then set up a direct contact.
