DLP650NE: Max Binary pattern rate for DLP650NE, DLP650TE, and DLP650LE

Part Number: DLP650NE
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP650TE, DLP650LE, DLPC4422, DLP660TE, DLP470TE

I am looking to find out how fast I can turn mirrors on and off for the following devices listed below. I believe the proper terminology is "Max Binary Pattern Rate"?

DLP650NE,

DLP650TE, 

DLP650LE

Also can you share the illumination wavelength range for these devices?  

Thanks for your time!

  • Hi Alex,

    Thank you very much for your post!

    The DLP650NE and DLP650LE are both visible wavelength devices, which mean their wavelength operating ranges are about 400-700 nanometers. The switching speed of these devices is also limited by the DLPC4422 controller data loading. The fastest frame rate these devices support is 120Hz. For the visible devices (such as DLP650NE an DLP650LE), frame rate is commonly used to describe pattern speed. DLP Industrial devices which more commonly use the "maximum binary pattern rate" metric you mentioned. Some of the DLP industrial devices are design to support much higher frame rates.

    May I ask what application you are exploring these devices for and your desired binary frame rate? If you are able to share this information with me, I can point you to a few devices that will be best suited for you application!

    Thanks,

  • Hi Brandon,

    Thank you for the info! Does the same apply for the DLP650TE as well?

    I would be happy to discuss my application further offline if that is possible?
  • Hi Alex,

    No problem! I am happy to help!

    I believe you are mean the DLP660TE instead of the DLP650TE, correct? If so, the same wavelength (400-700nm) and frame rate (120Hz) ranges/maximum apply.

    The highest frame rate for a visible DMD would be the DLP470TE. This DMD can be run in 1080p mode (in a dual DLPC4422 configuration) to achieve 240Hz.

    As for discussing your application offline, I can send you a private message to begin the discussions!

    Thanks,

    Brandon
