Digital micromirror device
open-in-new
<p>The digital micromirror device, or DMD, is the <a href="/facts/Microoptoelectromechanical_systems/M1I2gj5g">microoptoelectromechanical system</a> (MOEMS) that is the core of the trademarked <a href="/facts/Digital_Light_Processing/jxMs8emm">Digital Light Processing</a> (DLP) projection technology from <a href="/facts/Texas_Instruments/88NUhuHF">Texas Instruments</a> (TI). The device is used in <a href="/facts/Digital_projector/5fIVG2sq">digital projectors</a> and consists of an array of millions of microscopic mirrors which can be individually tilted many thousand times per second, thereby creating the pixels of the projected images. </p>
