3 Description

The DLP3021-Q1 Automotive DMD is primarily

targeted for automotive exterior light control and

display applications, such as ground projection with

the ability to display dynamic content. Ground

projections can help facilitate vehicle to pedestrian

(V2P) communication, such as back up and door

open warnings, in addition to orchestrating vehicle

communication systems and vehicle personalization

options. Due to their small form factor and low power

operation, projectors with the DLP3021-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. This chipset can be coupled with LEDs

or lasers to create highly saturated colors with over

125% NTSC color gamut, and can be used with

either RGB or white illumination sources. A DLP®

Products FPGA configuration can be used to drive the

DLP3021-Q1 Automotive DMD to reduce form factor

for easy integration in a vehicle. The DLPC120-Q1

Automotive DMD controller can also be used to drive

the DLP3021-Q1 Automotive DMD with support for

24-bit RGB video input to increase content flexibility.
