As a new evaluation module based on TI's ultra-small HD pico display chipset,
Brighter and more efficient display designs are possible

TI Korea (CEO Kent Chon, www.ti.com/ww/kr ) November 13, 2014 – TI (CEO Kent Chon) announced the availability of the DLP® LightCrafter™ Display 3010 evaluation module, a new developer tool for rapidly evaluating the DLP 0.3-inch (7.62mm) TRP HD 720p video and data display chipset. The 720p chipset is currently available through TI’s authorized distributors and consists of the DLP3010 Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), the DLPC3433 / DLPC3438 display controllers, and the DLPA2005 power management and LED driver. (For more details on the evaluation module, please refer to www.ti.com/dlp3010evm )

Key Features of the DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 Evaluation Module:
• Reduced product development time through rapid evaluation of the 0.3-inch TRP HD 720p display chipset
• Provides a standard HDMI input interface, enabling “plug-and-play” functionality for various devices.
• Provides an easy-to-use USB-based GUI (Graphic User Interface) enabling efficient real-time chipset programming.
• Provides a 50-pin board-to-board connector, enabling interface with various types of optical engines.
• Equipped with mass-production quality optical engine and RGB LEDs

Key Features of the Ultra-Low Power DLP 0.3” TRP HD 720p Display Chipset:
• Includes TI's high-resolution micromirror array devices boasting ultra-small size and ultra-low power efficiency
• With a concise circuit configuration, HD displays such as standalone battery-powered projectors, near-eye displays, aftermarket head-up displays (HUDs), low-latency game displays, and interactive curved displaysApplicable to display products
• Enables the implementation of the world's smallest true color RGB optical engine capable of delivering up to 120Hz video performance through high-speed switching of up to 5,400 times per second.
• Based on TI's proprietary DLP TRP architecture and adaptive DLP IntelliBright™ algorithm, it enables up to 100% brightness improvement and up to 50% reduction in power consumption compared to the previous DLP Pico™ chipset architecture.
• DLP TRP architecture provides twice the resolution compared to previous products of the same size 1)

TI has established the industry's most comprehensive ecosystem of leading pico optical engine vendors, enabling developers to bring innovative products to market more quickly without requiring optical expertise.
