DLP

Definition: Created by Texas Instruments, DLP, or Digital Light Processing, works by shining a light onto a semiconductor called a digital micromirror device (DMD), but not before passing through a fast-spinning red, green, and blue color wheel. As light passes through the color wheel, the DMD uses mirrors on its surface to translate the light to form an image, then reflecting the image onto a large screen. DLP’s are also lighter and narrower than CRTs, but are too heavy and bulky to hang from a wall. Burn-in is not a factor with DLP’s.
