News highlights:
- New DLP® controller is 90% smaller than the previous
generation, enabling compact design for consumer applications, such
as lifestyle projectors, gaming projectors and augmented reality
glasses.
- Designers can replicate the experience of immersive, high-end
gaming monitors in a fraction of the size with submillisecond
display latency and frame rates up to 240Hz.
DALLAS, Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today
introduced a new display controller to enable the smallest, fastest
and lowest-power 4K
ultra-high-definition (UHD) projectors ever. Measuring just 9mm by
9mm, or the width of a pencil eraser, TI's DLPC8445 display
controller is the smallest of its kind while enabling a diagonal
display of 100 inches or more in vivid image quality with ultra-low
latency. When combined with TI's compatible digital micromirror
device (DMD), the DLP472TP, and power-management integrated circuit
(PMIC) with LED driver, the DLPA3085, TI's new controller enables
designers to replicate the display experiences of high-end
televisions and gaming monitors in the form of a compact
projector.

"Immersive display entertainment is now sought out by everyday
consumers, not just movie enthusiasts and gamers," said
Jeff Marsh, vice president and
general manager of DLP Products at TI. "Where consumers once needed
a big TV or monitor for a crisp and clear display, they can now use
a lifestyle or gaming projector and transform a wall into the
screen size of their choosing with 4K
UHD quality. Our new controller is the latest example of how TI DLP
technology is helping engineers develop epic displays for
entertainment that can be taken anywhere."
Bring big-screen gaming and projection
anywhere
Lifestyle and gaming projectors are growing in
popularity as consumers seek immersive experiences with their
content, from movies and games to TV shows. With TI's new DLPC8445
controller and DLP472TP DMD, designers can deliver displays that
achieve submillisecond display latency, matching or exceeding the
world's most high-end gaming monitors and reducing lag time for
gamers.
Integration of variable refresh rate (VRR) support, a first for
a DLP chipset, will enable better displays for gamers by allowing
designers to easily sync frame rates and eliminate lagging, image
tearing and stuttering. Advanced image-correction capabilities
dynamically adjust for surface imperfections, making it possible
for consumers to conveniently take their gaming and viewing
experience anywhere. It is also the first DLP controller designed
for laser-illuminated battery-powered projectors.

For over 25 years, TI DLP technology has impacted how people
experience content, delivering high-resolution display and advanced
light control solutions to enable vivid, crisp image quality from
movie theaters to your homes and even on the go. Learn more
