TI (Texas Instruments), image display industry legend, developed from the first one in 1977, DLP chip, and finally succeeded in 1996 realized the commercial application of DLP ? technology, started to provide customers with digital display technology based on DLP ? optical system So far in 2006, its commercial application of DLP ? subsystem has ushered in celebration of ten years, and to achieve a successful sale of 10 million units milestone, truly a legend in the history of the industry can be said.Today, TI partners around the world, DLP ? technology, and in all kinds of products (such as large-screen digital TV, corporate/family/professional Conference projector and digital cinema playback devices) to provide users with the best image effects. But using DLP technology projectors products market share from the initial 0 from the LCD camp seized nearly 50% of their development prospects are more optimistic about the industry.
DLP technology's history dates back to 1977. From a suggestion, Texas Instruments scientists led by Dr. Larry Hornbeck team, began to control light reflection on the principles of research. Developed the following year was known as DMD digital microscopy equipment, which is a way to control the movement of the optical semiconductor photonic devices. The researchers then went through a number of years of hard work, success finally achieved in 1996, the commercial use of DLP technology, started to provide customers with digital display technology based on the DLP optical system. .
