DLP5500: DLP 5500 Collimating Beam

user4961898

Part Number: DLP5500
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPC200

Hello,

I am basically interested in collimating the output beam from the DLP5500. I was wondering what the components were within illumination and projection optics found in the online schematic. Any ideas on how to collimate the beam? Thanks for your help.

Hello Duc-Quy,

Welcome to the DLP section of the TI-E2E Community.

Are you working with an original LightCommander, a DLPC200/DLP550 design from another party, or your own design. I am a little confused by the question about optics in the "online schematic" which is a electronic schematic.

Please let me know so I can follow-up with you.

Hello,

I am working with a DLPC200. I want to know the optic components (lenses) inside. Thanks for all the help.

Hello,

Thank you for your immediate response. I was wondering if I could get the detail of what kind of lenses are within the projecting and illumination parts.

Hello again Duc-Quy,

I think there is some confusion here. The DLPC200 controller is made to work with the DLP5500 DMD. The DMD chip itself only has a window that is flat on both sides. The optics will depend on what product uses this chipset.

For example, although no longer made, LogicPD made a "LightCommander" EVM that was based on this chipset. DLi makes a "CEL5500 based on this chipset. The optics depend on the particular product.

If you are wanting to design a new system I recommend that you contact one of our Design Partners. --> http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/dlp/dlp-support-training.page#dnetwork

Hello,

Thanks again for the immediate response. I believe based on what you have told me I am interested in finding more information on the DLPC200 controller/chipset. Within the picture I have attached, I am interested in finding info about the specific lenses that compose illumination and projection optics. Do you know who I could contact or call? Thank you so much.

Best,

Hello Duc-Quy,

The diagram you show is a simple concept diagram that can apply to all DMD's. I would direct you to the previously supplied link [ http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/dlp/dlp-support-training.page#dnetwork ] and contact one of our Design Partners or Optical Module Manufacturers.

If you wish to learn in general about optics for DMD systems please refer to the following white paper:

Hello,

Is there a new document discussing using laser light with DLP technology? Where can I find this link? Thank you.
