When a charge is zapped through the material, its electrons jump, creating a photon that is then amplified by natural, microscopic mirrors in the material layered on top of it, silicon carbide or sapphire.
The holograms act like microscopic mirrors that refract light patterns when a laser shines on them, and so each hologram's recorded data can then be retrieved and deciphered.
Hundreds of thousands of microscopic mirrors are employed, each of which can be tilted into one of two positions.
The company's unique DLP (digital light processor) technology uses a matrix of microscopic mirrors that can be individually rotated to reflect light or not, and thereby switch the screen's individual pixels on or off.
The Texas Instruments approach involves a silicon chip that has hundreds of thousands of microscopic mirrors that can tilt to reflect light.
At the heart of every DLP chip is an array of up to 2.2 million microscopic mirrors which switch incredibly fast to create a high resolution, highly reliable, full color image.
DLP projector images are produced by the DMD chip that's made up of hinged, microscopic electromechanical mirrors where each mirror represents a single pixel from the displayed image.
Digital light processor technology uses up to two million microscopic tilting mirrors, all housed on a single chip, that direct light to the screen.
The technology – digital light processing (DLP) – works by using microscopic digital mirrors capable of generating two images on a screen at the same time from a single projector source.
