What is in the LightCrafter 4500 EVM?

The DLP LightCrafter 4500 module consists of two subsystems:
• Light engine – includes the optics; red, green, and blue LEDs; and the 912 × 1140 diamond pixel 0.45-
inch WXGA DMD, heat sinks, and fan. The light engine produces approximately 150 lumens at 15-W
LED power consumption.
• Driver board – includes the LED driver circuits, DLPC350 DMD controller, power-management circuits,
DVI-to-RGB conversion with the TFP401, and a 32-MB flash storage
Figure 1-1 shows the major hardware components.
