How DLP Technology
Works
In general, DLP technology
combines microscopic
mirrors,
a specially
designed semiconductor,
and a color wheel to adjust light to display the
most brilliant, accurate images! Your DLP HDTV
doesn't use Cathode
Ray Tubes (CRTs), which means you don't have to worry about screen
burn (fixed video images burning
onto the screen permanently)
or
convergence
(realigning
the CRTs). The diagram on the left illustrates
the
complex system.
Thin and Light
The efficiency of DLP technology enabled our design team to create a
high-performance
HDTV
that is about 16 inches thin and weighs less
than 100 pounds.
Lamp Replacement
DLP technology
uses a special lamp. Eventually, you'll need to replace this
lamp, which you can do yourself by following the instructions
that come
packed with the new lamp. To order the correct lamp, you'll need to know
your TV's model nmnber, serial number, and lamp type-this
information
is listed on the Service Model Number
sticker (example of the sticker is
shown on the left). Face the back of the TV. The sticker is located on the
left side of the TV. For future reference, write down the information
in the
space provided
at the left.
