DLP® Technology for
Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality and DLP® Technology
The DLP® technology developed by Texas Instruments is primarily known for its use in projectors, but can also play an important role in virtual reality (VR) applications, especially in displays. Digital light processing (DLP®) means that the light is bounced off microscopically small mirrors. These tilt to reflect the light towards or away from the screen. These mirrors are controlled by digital signals to produce high-resolution images. DLP® subsystems use a DMD chip (Digital Micromirror Device) containing thousands or even millions of mirrors. The light sources (e.g. LEDs, lasers or lamps) project through a colour wheel or individual lasers to create a complete colour spectrum. In virtual reality, the quality of the display has a direct impact on the experience. DLP® technology can improve VR in several ways: high-resolution displays, brightness, color accuracy and wide viewing angles.
Virtual Reality with ViALUX DLP® Subsystems
DLP® subsystems developed by ViALUX (V-Modules), are highly precise and fast. The DLP® subsystems have been proven in practice and impress with their versatility. The V-Modules differ in wavelength, controller board and DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) and offer different applications depending on the configuration. In virtual reality, speed, brightness and colour accuracy are important factors. Our UltraSpeed V-Modules can offer unrivalled performance in these areas by combining on-board DDR4 SDRAM memory with a powerful PCIe x4 Gen3 interface for ultra-fast image upload and real-time streaming.
