EVM enables HD projection in compact electronics
The DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM (Evaluation Module) is Texas Instruments' latest developer tool which enables quick assessment of the DLP 0.3” (7.62mm) TRP HD 720p video and data display chipset. The chipset is comprised of a DLP3010 Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), a DLPC3433 or DLPC3438 display controller and a DLPA2005 LED driver for power management
The ultra-low power DLP 0.3” TRP HD 720p display chipset contains TI’s smallest, most power-efficient, HD micromirror array and is suitable for compact electronics such as standalone battery-powered projectors, near-eye displays, after-market head up displays, low latency gaming displays and interactive free-form displays. Fast switching speeds of up to 5400 times per second enable what TI claim is the world's smallest, true-colour RGB engines capable of up to 120Hz video performance. Proprietary DLP TRP architecture and adaptive DLP IntelliBright suite of algorithms deliver up to 100% higher brightness or up to 50% lower power consumption than previous DLP Pico chipset architectures. It also delivers twice the resolution of its same-size predecessor.
The DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM provides a simple-to-use, USB-based GUI for efficient, real-time chipset configuration and a standard HDMI-input interface for plug-and-play functionality. Equipped with a production-quality optical engine and RGB LEDs, the EVM also features a 50-pin board-to-board connector which enables direct interface with a broad range of optical engines.
TI maintains the most extensive ecosystem of pico optical engine manufacturers in the industry, eliminating the need for developers to have their own optics expertise. A reference design is also offered for the DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 EVM to kick-start custom hardware design.
The DLP3010 DMD is available in a 57-pin FQK package, the DLPA2005 is available in a 48-pin QFN package and the DLPC3433 and DLPC3438 in 176- and 201-pin VFBGA packages, respectively.
