Texas Instruments DLP® Display & Projection

Chipset Selection Guide

This document can help product developers select the right DLP products for display and projection applications. A summary of the
digital micromirror devices (DMDs) are presented first, followed by detailed specifications.

£ 0.47-in array pico products are designed for display applications that demand small form factor and low power consumption. A
few example applications are smartphones and tablets, battery-powered pico projectors and mobile smart TVs, augmented reality
(AR) glasses and smart home displays.

£ 0.47-in array pico products
Selection guide for display applications
This selection guide can be used to compare £ 0.47-in array pico products for display applications. A £ 0.47-in array pico chipset
consists of two types of components: a DMD and a display controller. Most chipsets are also supported by a dedicated power
­management IC (PMIC) with an integrated illumination driver.
