Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP4500
Hi there,
I'm hoping to get more information on the motion of the individual micro-mirrors in the DLP4500 as they transition from the on-state to the off-state. I have been considering controlling the device such that it accomplishes not image formation, but translation of a laser very rapidly. For example, if I were to display binary data across the entire display, from 0 to 1, and back, at the 4kHz spec, would it be possible to plot, as a function of time, the angular rotation of the micro-mirrors?
Along the same lines, if I were to display a constant 128 value across the entire DMD (50% DC), forcing the display to dither, is it possible to plot those trajectories as a function of time? Also, is it possible to control the frequency at which the DMD dithers the mirrors in order to create the grayscale value? These pieces of information would be incredibly helpful for a project I'm working on in the lab. Please reach out directly (personal message?) or on this thread with more info. I haven't been able to get an idea exactly how these mirrors move from the on to off state.
Thanks,
Blake
