Digital mirror device features over four million micro-mirrors

The Texas Instruments (TI) DLP9000 DLP digital mirror device (DMD) is now available from Mouser stock. Featuring over four million micro-mirrors, with a high resolution 0.9 WQXGA DMD the spatial light modulator (SLM) can modulate the amplitude, direction, and/or phase of incoming light. The device's advanced light control technology makes it well suited to support numerous applications in the industrial, medical, and consumer display markets. The DLP9000 enables bigger build sizes and fine resolution for 3D printing applications. The high resolution has the direct benefit of scanning larger objects for 3D machine vision applications. Reliable function and operation of the DLP9000 requires that it be used in conjunction with two DLPC900 digital controllers. This dedicated chipset provides a robust, high-resolution WQXGA, and high-speed system solution, says the company.
