Enable reliable maskless lithography with DLP technology
Digital imaging with DLP technology provides an alternative to mask-based approaches. Acting as a programmable photomask, the digital micromirror device (DMD) delivers fast, high-resolution, scalable, and precise printing, directing light patterns to expose photosensitive materials. Eliminating masks reduces material costs, shortens mask fabrication time, removes mask inventory management, and accelerates development.
High resolution and speed support rapid pattern changes and immediate corrections. These advantages scale effectively, improving yield and enabling panel-level production. DLP direct imaging supports PCB manufacturing, flat-panel display repair, laser marking, advanced packaging, and other light exposure applications.

Build compact, high-performance spectrometers with DLP technology
Every material interacts uniquely with light. DLP technology enables fast, accurate, and compact spectrometers that analyze these optical signatures to identify and characterize materials. Light dispersed by a prism or diffraction grating is projected onto the DMD, which directs selected wavelengths into a single-element detector for precise measurement.
This approach reduces system size and cost while improving sensitivity, speed, and versatility for laboratory, field, and industrial spectroscopy applications.
