The components of a MP1600 Microportable Projector include an imaging engine, a
. .
microprocessing chip, a power supply, a lens, a lamp, and the casing. When each of
. .
. .
these elements is at their optimum development level, they converge to give business
. .
people the most technologically advanced projector available. This is exactly the high-
. .
. .
impact role the Compaq MP1600 Microportable Projector will play in your arsenal of
. .
critical business tools.

To create the world's first microportable computer required several innovative challenges
. .
— which, when combined, resulted in a superior MP1600 Microportable Projector. First,
. .
Compaq targeted the most advanced projection technologies. Second, we challenged the
. .
. .
engineers and designers to make them even more compact and lightweight than they
. .
were already. Finally, we raised the stakes to produce each component to meet
. .
. .
Compaq's high standards. These challenges were achieved through a combination of
. .
reductions in several areas including state-of-the-art semiconductor technology, a smaller
. .
. .
and more powerful power supply, improving the circuit design, and encasing it all in a
. .
strong, yet lightweight magnesium casing. The end result: a small, convenient, and
. .
. .
powerful projector.

DLP is a revolutionary new way to project and display images. Simply stated, it is an
. .
optical system driven by digital electronics. Using a video or graphics input signal
. .
. .
from a source such as a computer, DLP display technology digitally processes light to
. .
produce a film-like, all-digital image. The heart of the digital process is the DMD, a
. .
. .
thumbnail-size semiconductor light switch. The DMD consists of 784,432 microscopic

mirrors, each mounted on a hinge structure
that can be individually tilted on and off at
speeds greater than 1,000 times per second.
Using light from a lamp, an image is formed
on the reflective surface of the DMD, then
projected through a lens and onto a screen.
Color is added through an advanced color
wheel filter system. DLP can generate 256
grade levels for each of the primary colors,
producing millions of digitally correct color
combinations. The result is a bright,
seamless, crystal clear with digital image
perfect contrasts, resolution, and uniformity.
