3 Description
The DLP2021-Q1 automotive digital micromirror
device (DMD) is designed for automotive exterior light
control and display applications. Applications include
ground projection that displays full color and animated
and dynamic content. Ground projections help to
facilitate vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication,
such as back-up and door-open warnings, and
orchestrate vehicle communication systems and
vehicle personalization options. Due to their small
form factor and low power operation, projectors with
the DLP2021-Q1 chipset can support many projection
applications. They can be placed in many locations in
the car, including inside the side mirror, door panel,
tail light, front grill, and more.
