Texas Instruments has released a new display controller that allows the smallest, fastest, and lowest-power 4K UHD projectors. Measuring just 9mm x 9mm, or the width of a pencil eraser, the DLPC8445 display controller is the smallest of its kind while allowing a diagonal display of 100" or more in vivid image quality with ultra-low latency. When combined with the company's compatible DMD, the DLP472TP, and PMIC with LED driver, the DLPA3085, its new controller allows designers to replicate the display experiences of high-end televisions and gaming monitors in the form of a compact projector.
"Immersive display entertainment is now sought out by everyday consumers, not just movie enthusiasts and gamers. Where consumers once needed a big TV or monitor for a crisp and clear display, they can now use a lifestyle or gaming projector and transform a wall into the screen size of their choosing with 4K UHD quality. Our new controller is the latest example of how TI DLP technology is helping engineers develop epic displays for entertainment that can be taken anywhere." - Jeff Marsh, Vice President and General Manager of DLP Products at TI
Lifestyle and gaming projectors are gaining popularity as consumers seek immersive experiences with their content, from movies and games to TV shows. With the company's new controller and DMD, designers can produce displays that achieve submillisecond display latency, matching or exceeding the world's highest-end gaming monitors and lowering gamers' lag time.
The integration of VRR support, a first for a DLP chipset, will allow better displays for gamers by enabling designers to easily sync frame rates and eliminate lagging, image tearing, and stuttering. Advanced image-correction capabilities dynamically adjust for surface imperfections, making it possible for consumers to conveniently take their gaming and viewing experience anywhere. It is also the first DLP controller designed for laser-illuminated battery-powered projectors.
