TI broadens 4K UHD display possibilities with newly expanded portfolio of DLP® Products
New DLP 4K UHD chipsets enable stunning display products capable of delivering accurate, detailed images across a variety of applications
DALLAS, Dec. 5, 2017 — Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) is pushing the boundaries of 4K ultra-high definition (UHD) technology with an expanded family of chipsets to bring 4K UHD technology to new applications. Building on the introduction of the DLP660TE chipset, the first affordable 4K UHD offering in the industry, the portfolio now includes two smaller chipsets, the DLP470TE and DLP470TP, to expand the sharp image capabilities of 4K UHD into a broader range of end equipment.
Developers can now design DLP 4K UHD technology into a variety of end products such as laser TVs, mobile smart TVs, digital signage displays, smart home displays, pico projectors, business and education projectors, and more. The chipsets span a wide range of power, size, brightness and performance levels to help designers achieve any 4K UHD end-equipment objective. For more information about display offerings in TI’s DLP Products portfolio, see http://www.ti.com/DLP4kExpansion-pr.
Each DLP 4K UHD chipset exceeds the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) definition for 4K UHD technology, displaying over 8 million pixels on the screen.
Key features and benefits of the chipsets
• The DLP470TP is the most compact 4K UHD solution from DLP Products, and is optimized for size and power. Measuring 17 mm by 24.5 mm and supporting brightness levels up to 1,500 lumens, the DLP470TP can deliver 4K UHD quality to equipment such as mobile smart TVs and pico projectors.
• The DLP470TE is optimized for projectors needing over 1,500 lumens. This chipset is in a larger package, 22 mm by 32 mm, which enables it to withstand the heat generated by brightness levels up to 4,000 lumens.
• The DLP660TE is the most powerful of the three 4K UHD chipsets. This digital micromirror device (DMD) is designed to enable projection applications up to 5,000 lumens.
TI collaborates with the most extensive ecosystem of optical engine manufacturers in the industry. This offers developers a path to production-ready optical engines, reducing design time and helping companies get their innovative products to market faster.
