  • Page 20 Polaview 220 DLP Projector What is the significance of SVGA (800 x 600) resolution? The screen resolution of 800 x 600 pixels used in Polaview 220 projectors matches the monitor capabilities of most laptop com- puters sold today. It gives the users bright and superior comput- er/video images.
  • Page 21 The DMD (Digital Micro-Mirror Device) is a highly integrated semiconductor light switch and the core of DLP. The DLP-based projection subsystem in the Polaview 220 projector couples the DMD microchip with digital signal processing, memory, soft- ware, optical components and an illumination source for projec- tion display.
  • Page 22 Polaview 220 DLP Projector For reference, how do the three techniques of projection display actually work? In current projectors based on liquid-crystal displays (LCDs), dichroic beam splitters supply red, green, and blue light to trios of LCD light valves, which pass or block the light as specified by the pixel data (left).
