3 Description

The DLP2021-Q1 automotive digital micromirror

device (DMD) is designed for automotive exterior light

control and display applications. Applications include

ground projection that displays full color and animated

and dynamic content. Ground projections help to

facilitate vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication,

such as back-up and door-open warnings, and

orchestrate vehicle communication systems and

vehicle personalization options. Due to their small

form factor and low power operation, projectors with

the DLP2021-Q1 chipset can support many projection

applications. They can be placed in many locations in

the car, including inside the side mirror, door panel,

tail light, front grill, and more.
