Texas Instruments Unveils Nex-Gen HD DLP Pico Chipset

(RTTNews) - Texas Instruments (TXN) Sunday unveiled its next-generation HD DLP Pico chipset which can generate bright, vivid HD image quality displays from compact electronics, including tablets, smartphones, wearables displays, and a wide variety of displays.

The new 0.3" HD TRP chipset utilizes TI's proprietary TRP DLP architecture and adaptive IntelliBright suite of algorithms to deliver higher brightness and lower power consumption than previous DLP Pico chipset architectures.

"This HD chipset represents a major milestone for DLP; we are achieving two times the number of pixels in a 0.3-inch MEMS device with 30 percent greater optical efficiency and up to 50 percent power savings on a frame-by-frame basis than our previous architectures," said Frank Moizio, business unit manager of DLP Pico.

Additionally, the chipset's fast switching speeds of up to thousands of times per second enables the smallest true-color RGB engines with 120-Hz video performance.

The company is now pushing its chipset for its virtual retinal display product, the Avegant Glyph, to beam images directly onto the human eye.
