Recently, TI launched a 0.23-inch 1080p chipset, the DLP230NP. The release of this chipset has become the smallest 1080p solution on the market, which is a huge breakthrough. TI expects more and more products to be launched on the market.

The optical efficiency of this chipset can provide a very good user experience and effect, allowing smaller products to get the maximum output. Secondly, the 0.23-inch size can very well control the product volume. Third, high brightness, with a technology platform that can exceed 200 lumens of brightness, the entire user experience is elevated to a higher level, making more usage scenarios possible.

Applications in smart homes and mobile devices

The emergence of this platform has also driven the development of many different application products and application fields, such as smart displays, mobile smart TVs, and mobile accessories. We saw many demos at the Innovative Applications Seminar.

Smart homes have many areas that require display, and DLP can bring its own unique technology and advantages. For example, desktop projection, coupled with some touch controls, will bring more application scenarios and usage experiences.

The second is wearable devices, whether it is AR glasses, VR glasses or even MR glasses, including screenless TV smart projectors, this type of product is facing a strong growth trend and will have good market prospects.

Application and innovation of DLP in industrial industry

TI DLP has a wide range of products that can meet the needs of different technical specifications. For example, from 0.2-inch to 0.47-inch DMD, from 360P resolution to 4K resolution, a variety of different options can provide rich selection possibilities for each application form.

All of these technologies can be extended to non-traditional display industry fields, such as 3D scanning, 3D printing, digital exposure, and spectral analysis. These all rely on the same technical foundation and are the expansion of DLP technology applications and product updates.

3D machine vision, in layman's terms, is a 3D scanning application. DLP provides an application direction with very high scanning accuracy. In automatic online inspection, dental scanning, and other scanning fields that require very high accuracy, DLP has very good advantages. DLP can provide very flexible options for scannable patterns.

Spectral analysis. DLP is a breakthrough in spectral analysis. It can bring a very small spectrometer. In addition, in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, DLP has made great breakthroughs in various detection performance and indicators compared to traditional technologies. In addition, it has a very good design through the selection of different wavelengths. It can be identified by infrared spectral scanning based on the characteristic spectral lines of specific substances. TI believes that spectral analysis has a very large market prospect.

DLP product innovation in the automotive field

DLP technology can also be applied to transparent car window projection, which can display enough information and provide more interaction while maintaining the transparency of the window so as not to interfere with the driver's field of view. For example, when a user calls Didi or Uber, the window projection can display the passenger's name on the window to indicate that this is the car called by the passenger. In addition, the vehicle condition information will also be displayed, thereby increasing the possibility and opportunity of more information interaction.

There are more application possibilities in the automotive electronics industry. Augmented reality head-up display and adaptive headlight applications are also two application areas that TI pays more attention to.

For augmented reality head-up display, this application has already been shipped in batches. The DLP chip is a car-certified chip that can support an operating range of -40 degrees to 105 degrees. When the user is driving, the head-up display projects information onto the medium, and it can show information that can be seen within 20 meters in front of the car. Therefore, when the user is driving, while paying attention to the information provided by HD, he can still continue to focus on the road conditions without being distracted. This is the ultimate user experience of augmented reality HD. TI hopes that this information can be integrated into natural road conditions to provide users with more safety guidance.

For adaptive headlight applications, we often encounter hidden dangers when driving due to insufficient light coverage. Adaptive headlights have more than one million small micro lenses. High-precision projection lights can illuminate farther when the driver is driving. In order to avoid affecting the oncoming road conditions or even the driver's sight, TI has adaptive control, including control of DMD chips, which can remove negative effects on pedestrians and drivers. Therefore, high beams can illuminate more road surfaces and are safer.

At the same time, the rearview mirror projection light can interact with passers-by, providing a safety aid for both pedestrians and drivers. DLP technology increases the communication process between people and the environment, drivers and pedestrians, and drivers and road conditions.

More Applications of DLP Chipset

There are hundreds of applications that can benefit from the high brightness and high contrast free-form on-demand displays provided by DLP technology. These features enable developers to achieve significant product differentiation and quickly achieve market launch by selecting a chipset and off-the-shelf optical modules that meet the application requirements.
