3 Description

The DLP3020-Q1 Automotive DMD is primarily

targeted for automotive head-up display (HUD)

applications with large field of view or augmented

reality capability requiring long focal distances. This

chipset can be coupled with LEDs or lasers to create

deep saturated colors with over 125% NTSC color

gamut with support for 24-bit RGB video input. In

addition, the chipset enables high brightness (15,000-

cd/m2 typical) HUD systems with wide dynamic

range, and fast switching speeds that do not vary

with temperature. As used in the TI reference design,

very high dynamic range over 5000:1 can be achieved

to meet the operating range of an automotive HUD

system for bright daylight and dark night time driving

conditions. This device has the same micromirror

array as DLP3030-Q1 with a smaller package,

allowing overall volume reduction on optical system

design.
