Texas Instruments has equipped 5,476 screens in North American theaters with its digital light processing projectors.
RCA sells two models of rear-projection TV's, which use digital light processing technology, starting at $6,000 retail.
All three makers use the digital light processing, or D.L.P., chip invented by Texas Instruments, to project the image.
The picture is created with digital light processing technology (D.L.P).; a chip contains millions of tiny mirrors that move to allow light to pass through to the screen.
Microvision, a developer of display and scanning devices, has transferred its effort to develop organic optical switches and light processing materials to a new subsidiary named Lumera.
Rear-projection TVs using digital light processing technology, or D.L.P., can cause a "rainbow effect" for some viewers when there is fast movement on the screen.
It uses liquid crystal on silicon technology, often referred to as LCoS, as opposed to the other primary technology for pico-projectors, digital light processing (DLP).
Now two digital projection techniques are battling in the marketplace: L.C.D. rear-projection and a technology from Texas Instruments called digital light processing (or D.L.P).
It uses the industry-standard Texas Instruments digital light processing, or D.L.P., chip for an XGA resolution of 1,024 by 768 pixels and a brightness of 1,050 lumens.
This approach is called "digital light processing" (DLP .The idea of using lasers as light sources for projectors dates to the 1960s, but two things held it back.
There are two technologies you are likely to hear about when you're shopping for a projector: liquid crystal display, or L.C.D., and digital light processing, or D.L.P. Projectors using L.C.D. generally have three glass panels (red, green and blue).
