Using TI's Digital Mirror Device (DMD) and our own optical design we have developed a geometric effect that increases the light usage efficiency. By increasing the light usage efficiency we can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB) required for color reproduction on a single DMD. This means superior brightness, smaller size, and lighter weight. · Sharp, clear images There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the individual pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and clear reproduction of small characters and figures. Take a closer look and notice the difference in quality! · Outstanding sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors when reproducing DVD video and other high picture-quality data/video sources Accurate gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image displays. DVD and other high quality image sources bring out the true image display quality of the unit. · Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when projecting to the height of the line of vision Because the projection position is already set to the height of the line of vision, there is no keystoning effect.
