HD to 4K UHD DLP Pico chipsets enable compact high-performance smart projectors with solid-state illumination
Mobile Smart TVs are compact devices that can wirelessly stream content and project it onto virtually any surface. They can take the place of a TV in the home or serve as a portable display. Both applications can leverage ultra-short throw optics to project onto surfaces just inches away from the unit.
- Up to 4K UHD resolution
- High optical efficiency enables a big screen from a small product
- On-demand display disappears when off
- Compatible with solid-state illumination (Laser or LED)

Low-power ultra-compact DLP Pico chipsets enable high-brightness high-contrast augmented reality displays
Augmented reality (AR) glasses and headsets use display modules that blend the digital and physical worlds. These display modules have demanding requirements for performance, size, and power. TI DLP Pico technology enables small, high-performance, low power AR display modules.
- High optical efficiency / low illumination power enables a brighter display on a limited power budget
- Contrast ratios of >1000:1 enable highly transparent backgrounds
- Fast digital micromirrors that switch in microseconds enable frame rates of up to 240 Hz, high color-sequential refresh rates and low display latency

Small, high brightness DLP Pico displays up to 1080p resolution enable on-demand smart displays on virtually any surface in the home
Smart displays are becoming a common fixture in households as consumers continue to adopt smart home solutions. While basic smart speakers use audio for feedback, smart displays supplement the user experience with visual content such as how-to videos, recipes, and photos. A smart display with DLP Pico technology can create a projected image virtually anywhere.
- High brightness displays can overcome high ambient lighting
- On-demand display that disappears when off
- Compact optical solutions that can fit in just about any product
- Displays of any shape on virtually any surface in the home

Low-power high-brightness DLP Pico DMDs as small as 0.16” diagonal enable innovative display solutions in appliances
Appliance manufacturers seeking to differentiate their products should consider projection displays that can create an image on virtually any surface. Compact, low-power DLP Pico technology can display information or smart home content from variety of products such as dishwashers, cooker hoods or cooktop displays, and washer/dryers, in addition to lighting, or thermostats.
- Display on any surface
- High contrast, free-form displays
- On-demand display that disappears when off
- High optical efficiency/low power

Why choose TI DLP Pico display technology?
Small size, large image
The DLP technology optical architecture and pixel design allow for extremely small form factors compared to the image displayed.
Excellent image quality
Based on the same display technology used in nine out of 10 digital movie screens worldwide, DLP products help enable displays with saturated colors and high contrast.
Low power
High optical efficiency and DLP IntelliBright image-processing algorithms reduce the illumination power needed for a given brightness.
Display on any surface
Display a crisp image on virtually any surface with DLP Pico technology. Can produce a large image when needed yet disappear when turned off.
