1. The semiconductor that
continues to reinvent projection
At the heart
of every DLP® projection system is an optical semiconductor known as the DLP®
chip, which was invented by Dr. Larry Hornbeck of Texas Instruments in 1987.
The DLP chip is perhaps the world's most sophisticated light switch. It contains a rectangular array of up to 2 million hinge-mounted microscopic mirrors; each of these micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a human hair.
When a DLP chip is coordinated with a digital video or graphic signal, a light source, and a projection lens, its mirrors can reflect a digital image onto a screen or other surface. The DLP chip combined with the advanced electronics that surround it produce stunning images and video that have redefined picture quality.

2. The grayscale image
A DLP chip's
micromirrors tilt either toward the light source in a DLP projection system
(ON) or away from it (OFF). This creates a light or dark pixel on the projection
surface.
The
bit-streamed image code entering the semiconductor directs each mirror to
switch on and off up to several thousand times per second. When a mirror is
switched on more frequently than off, it reflects a light gray pixel; a mirror
that's switched off more frequently reflects a darker gray pixel.
In this way, the mirrors in a DLP projection system can reflect pixels in up to 1,024 shades of gray to convert the video or graphic signal entering the DLP chip into a highly detailed grayscale image.

3. Adding color
The white
light generated by the lamp in a DLP projection system passes through a color
filter as it travels to the surface of the DLP chip. This filters the light
into a minimum of red, green, and blue, from which a single-chip DLP projection
system can create at least 16.7 million colors.
With BrilliantColor™ Technology, additional colors are added including Cyan, Magenta and Yellow to expand the color pallet for even more vibrant color performance. Some DLP projectors offer solid-state illumination which replaces the traditional white lamp. As a result, the light source emits the necessary colors eliminating the color filter. In some DLP systems, a 3-chip architecture is used, particularly for high brightness projectors required for large venue applications such as concerts and movie theaters. These systems are capable of producing no fewer than 35 trillion colors.
The on and off states of each micromirror are coordinated with these basic building blocks of color. For example, a mirror responsible for projecting a purple pixel will only reflect red and blue light to the projection surface; those colors are then blended to see the intended hue in a projected image.

4. Applications and configurations
a) CHIP DLP PROJECTION SYSTEM
Many Data
projectors and HDTVS using DLP technology rely on a single chip configuration
like the one described above.
White light
passes through a color filter, causing red, green, blue and even additional
primary colors such as yellow cyan, magenta and more to be shone in sequence on
the surface of the DLP chip. The switching of the mirrors, and the proportion
of time they are 'on' or 'off' is coordinated according to the color shining on
them. Then the sequential colors blend to create a full-color image you see on
the screen.
b) CHIP DLP PROJECTION SYSTEM
DLP
technology enabled projectors for very high brightness applications such as
cinema and large venue displays rely on a 3 chip configuration to produce
stunning images, whether moving or still.
In a 3 chip system, the white light generated by the lamp passes through a prism that divides it into red, green and blue. Each DLP chip is identified for each of these three colors; the colored light that the micromirrors reflect is then combined and passed through the projection lens to form an image.
Regardless of the application or design, Projectors powered by DLP Technology continue to raise the bar on picture quality and video performance. And it all starts with a small imaging chip with millions of tiny mirrors called DLP that make the picture amazing.
