1.1 DLP Display Chip or Digital Micromirror Device (DMD)

A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device with up to millions of micromirrors that rapidly switch to create projected pixels of different color and intensity when modulated in sync with color sequential illumination. For more detailed information pertaining to Optical Properties of a DMD, refer to slides 12 - 27 of the DLP Optical Design Guidelines presentation.
