Texas Instruments’ Discovery
4000 Starter
Kit lets developers create
applications based on TI’s
digital light processing (DLP)
system. Kits start at $4999 for
a 1024-by-768, 0.55-in. digital micromirror
device (DMD). The kit includes a board
with the DMD and support FPGA and ASIC
chips. Windows drivers are included. A
1080p version is available. The DMD can
operate across the light spectrum from IR
to UV, suiting it for many different applications.
For example, companies such as Fuji
and Hitachi are using DMDs with directimaging
maskless lithography.
