Why choose TI DLP display technology?
Small size, large image
The DLP technology optical architecture and pixel design allow for extremely small form factors compared to the image displayed.
Excellent image quality
Based on the same display technology used in nine out of 10 digital movie screens worldwide, DLP products help enable displays with saturated colors and high contrast.
Low power
High optical efficiency and DLP IntelliBright image-processing algorithms reduce the illumination power needed for a given brightness.
Display on any surface
Display a crisp image on virtually any surface with DLP technology. Can produce a large image when needed yet disappear when turned off.

HD to 4K UHD DLP chipsets enable compact high-performance smart projectors with solid-state illumination
Mobile Smart TVs are compact devices that can wirelessly stream content and project it onto virtually any surface. They can take the place of a TV in the home or serve as a portable display. Both applications can leverage ultra-short throw optics to project onto surfaces just inches away from the unit.
- Up to 4K UHD resolution
- High optical efficiency enables a big screen from a small product
- On-demand display disappears when off
- Compatible with solid-state illumination (Laser or LED)

Small, high brightness DLP displays up to 1080p resolution enable on-demand smart displays on virtually any surface in the home
Smart displays are becoming a common fixture in households as consumers continue to adopt smart home solutions. While basic smart speakers use audio for feedback, smart displays supplement the user experience with visual content such as how-to videos, recipes, and photos. A smart display with DLP technology can create a projected image virtually anywhere.
- High brightness displays can overcome high ambient lighting
- On-demand display that disappears when off
- Compact optical solutions that can fit in just about any product
- Displays of any shape on virtually any surface in the home
