New TI Chip Produces Superior Project Images

Andy writes "TI has created a new IC called the DLP (Digital Light Processor). It contains thousands of tiny mirrors, one mirror assigned to each pixel in a 1:1 ratio. It uses another of their technologies called DMP, Digital Micromirror Device. It is capable of producing 16.7 million colors and projecting over large distances. The quality is supposed to be much higher than that of LCDs, and the chip itself if extremely small. It is supposed to produce a perfectly clear "A" the size of a dime at 20 feet. "
