Micro / pico display for projection

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPC2607, DLP2000

Hi I am looking for guidance and advice. I am looking for a pico/micro display that can be used to project the image onto a small piece of plastic. Plastic screen size approx. 40mm x 40mm. Can anyone help?

  • Daniel,

    Do you have any idea what resolution/brightness you are targeting? For a screen of that small size, you may be able to use the DLPC2607 chipset, which uses a 0.2" nHD DMD (the DLP2000). It is a chipset that is optimized for ultra mobile, embedded applications:

    It also has an accompanying EVM, which you can look at here:

    I hope this helps.

  • Hi Philippe,

    Thank you for your reply. I am looking to create a heads up display type set up. Do you think the EVM is sufficient to project onto a surface? Are the optics adjustable or is this something I would need to add?

    Also is the EVM Plug and play? So I can test the idea?

    Help much appreciated.

  • Hi Philippe,
    Thank you for your email. I am aiming to get the best resolution possible for HUD. Also the larger the field of view the better. I may sound like a newbie.... but in order for me to set up the display (you recommended) functioning what are all the components I will need?

  • Daniel,

    Thanks for your inquiry. The DLP2000 EVM is 640x360 native resolution (with 854x480 supported). In order to help you assess what flavour of DLP technology is best for your application, I recommend reviewing our application note on AR HUD applications. There is also a table at the bottom of this application note with field-of-view tradeoffs for some of our EVMs:

    I hope this helps. I'll add you on E2E in case you would like to discuss your application further.
