Abstract :
Digital light processing (DLP)TM based projection displays have come from introduction in an existing industry to undisputed dominance in some market sectors and a serious presence in all sectors in less than five years. At the heart of this line of products is a unique microelectromechanical structure (MEMS), the digital micromirror device (DMD)TM, developed at Texas Instruments. This presentation concentrates on a functional description of the DMD, including fabrication techniques, control strategy, and electromechanical modeling and performance
