Analysis and Status of DLP

Texas Instruments (TI) announced a new 1080p DMD chip (xHD3), and showed their new

DMD chip HD2+ with Dark Chip 2 (Filler Mirror Via, or “dimple fix”), introduced in September

2003.

The HD2+ was released to improve contrast and black level, include Digital Video

Enhancement (DVE) that adds a dark green segment on the color wheel to improve bit depth and

shadow detail, reduced sparkly dither at low levels, and closer pixel fill which produces a

smoother image with less screen door effect.

Some manufacturers are also using the newly designed 7-element color wheel, to improve

the known DLP dithering artifact.

TI talked about a 1920x1080 chip informally at CES 2002/3, and again at CEDIA in Sep

03, but CES 2004 was the event that demonstrated a consumer HD RPTV built with the xHD3

1080p chip (Samsung RPTV set), which according to TI, offers the finest in picture quality with

the new DynamicBlack™, DarkChip2™ and SmoothPicture™ technologies, and up to 5000:1 CR.

Featured at the TI’s booth was also a DLP RPTV “flat panel” cabinet from Thomson/RCA, as thin

as 6.85” in depth, which claimed to be higher resolution,
