1 Introduction

DLP® display products are used in a wide range of traditional accessory projectors and emerging display equipment. These include embedded projectors in smart phones and tablets, interactive surface computing, screenless and laser TVs, augmented reality glasses, digital signage, projection mapping, large venue, and cinema. DLP display technology contains two families of products, DLP Pico™ chipsets and DLP Standard chipsets. DLP Pico chipsets offer versatile display capability and can create images on virtually any surface from ultramobile devices. They are a good fit for any application requiring a display with high contrast, small size, and low power. DLP Standard chipsets enable amazing images for systems that require large screen bright displays with high resolution.
