This system uses a 480 micromirror linear array. It is compatible with the DVI standard.
Ultra-high resolution
Tests have shown that the technology could potentially yield 5,000 column images displayed at a frame rate of 60 Hz. The number of lines in the image is determined by the number of micromirrors in the linear array. To date, linear arrays with up to 4,000 micromirrors have been fabricated. Superimposing three monochromatic images of different colors (e.g., red, green, and blue) produces a high resolution color image. In this type of projector, an optical relay combined with masks produces pixels whose intensity is determined by micromirror curvature. The pixel column produced is projected onto a screen. A galvanometer in the projection system scans the screen by displaying all the columns of an image in sequence. The number of columns is currently limited by the control electronics used. The contrast obtained depends on operating conditions and can reach 300 with the current configuration.
