Just like Goldilocks, the market for display technology knows when something is just right. And when it comes to getting it right, it’s hard to argue against 4K ultra-high-definition (UHD) displays that utilize Texas Instruments’ DLP 4K UHD chipset.
Digital light processing (DLP) technology is a fast-switching microelectromechanical-systems (MEMS) platform that modulates light using a digital micromirror device (DMD) Each of 4.15 million micromirrors has a reflective aluminum surface that can be just a few microns wide. A DMD steers light by electrostatically deflecting or switching each mirror up to thousands of times per second. To make this possible, a 1 or 0 is loaded into a memory cell beneath each mirror, which activates electrodes that control whether the mirror is switch to an on or off state.
