1 Introduction
This guide explains the hardware and software features of the DLP Discovery 4100 Development Platform
evaluation modules (EVMs). The EVM architectures and connectors are described along with a quick start guide
on how to operate the D4100 Platform using a PC based Graphical User Interface (GUI). Specific DLP chip
details and operation can be found in related component documentation.

1.1 Welcome

The DLP Discovery 4100 Development Platform is a great way to evaluate the fastest binary pattern and data
rates the DLP chip portfolio offers. Designers get pixel accurate control of all DMD micromirrors with Global,
Quad, Dual and Single Block Modes available for tailoring DMD micromirror pattern timing for continuous (lamp)
or solid state (switched) illuminated applications. The D4100 is also a path for customers to design with the high
performance UV and NIR DLP chips for systems such as:
Lithography
3D printing and additive manufacturing
Dynamic grayscale marking and coding
Industrial printing
Structured light such as:
– Factory automation and 3D machine vision
– 3D In-line automated optical inspection (AOI)
– Robotic vision
– Offline 3D metrology
– 3D scanners
– 3D identification and biometrics
Medical and life sciences
High speed imaging and display
