CES 2006: TI to Offer DLP Chipsets for LED Light Engine

TI announced at CES 2006 in Las Vegas a new generation of their DLP technology that supports LED light source. DLP Chipsets are integrated circuits that drive the Digital Micromirror Device ( DMD ) panels. They are also responsible for the color wheel and lamp operations. Announced technology will support LED light source which has benefits of lower power usage and ability to instantly power on and off the display. Also, LED light will provide about 130% wider color gamut for NTSC sources. Samsung will be the first to ship such display in 2006. Along with the new LED technology, Texas Instruments also unveiled 2 new chipsets: .45" 720p DLP and the .65" 1080p DLP with BrilliantColor technology that extends the color processing from 3 colors to 6 colors.
