DLP Projectors Are All the Rave |

I had no idea what DLP projectors were and why they were becoming so popular, so I did some research online to find out more about them. DLP technology was developed in 1987 by Dr. Larry Hornbeck, who works for Texas Instruments. This DLP chip is what is at the heart of DLP technology. The little chip contains over two million micro mirrors, which create digital images when put together with a digital video or graphic signal. The chip also needs a light source and a projection lens to produce the image. But, when all of these are put together, we have the technology that drives DLP projectors. DLP projectors and flat screen HDTVs contain these chips, which is why we can have pictures that resemble the quality we expect to see in the theaters. To run a projector, flat screens for the wall are required in order to display the images. Another bonus to DLP technology? The images that would normally burn themselves into a television or projection screen will not do so with DLP imaging. It has been said that gaming and watching pro ball games are superb when this technology is used to view them.
