In a paper entitled "Sequential Color Recapture and = Dynamic Filtering: A Method of Scrolling Color" authored by D. Scott Dewald= , Steven M. Penn and Michael Davis of Texas Instruments, an innovative appr= oach to increasing the efficiency of a single modulator display is describe= d. "The current DLP single-panel technology has only one color present on= the surface of the DMD, meaning that, at any one time, one third of the li= ght is used while two thirds of the light is wasted," said Scott Dewald of = TI's DLP(TM) Products division, who delivered the paper at the conference. = "Sequential Color Recapture - SCR - is a technology that allows all three c= olors to be present simultaneously, such that a single panel DLP system can= now be as efficient as - potentially more efficient than - a three panel s= ystem, but without the additional parts, size, weight and expense of three = panel systems." "Although many solutions have been proposed to the challe= nge of maximizing the efficiency of single modulator displays," he continue= d, "all have exhibited a high degree of mechanical complexity which would m= ake manufacturability a real issue. One of the key virtues of SCR is its si= mplicity: it is no more complex than what we have today, requiring no addit= ional moving parts." The implementation of SCR technology requires a chan= ge to the color wheel and light integrating element currently employed in s= ingle-DMD DLP(TM) subsystems, together with changes in the DMD and the driv= e electronics. The optical capability of SCR has been made possible by adva= nces in dichroic and metal thin-film technologies, the most important of th= ese being the photolithographic patterning of dichroic coatings. The SCR co= lor wheel is created from RGB dichroic coatings arranged in a "spiral of Ar= chimedes" pattern. "This is a tremendously exciting development for DLP t= echnology," said Dennis Fritsche, Manager for Business Products at TI's DLP= (TM) Products Division. "It has been a continuing goal to not only increase= brightness, but also to increase color saturation - and SCR allows us to d= o both. On a panel-to-panel basis, DLP technology has always out-performed = competing technologies. With this invention, we can now, in all respects, m= atch three-panel modulators with a single DMD, but in the small, lightweigh= t projectors that DLP(TM) technology uniquely enables because of its high s= peed and digitally consistent mirror technology. We are now investigating i= mplementation plans and schedules to bring this revolutionary advancement t= o the market place." Today, TI supplies DLP(TM) subsystems to more than t= hirty of the world's top projector manufacturers, who then design, manufact= ure and market projectors based on DLP(TM) technology. There are now over f= ifty products based on DLP(TM) technology in the market. Since early 1996, = over 750,000 DLP(TM) subsystems have been shipped. Over the past four years= , DLP(TM) technology-based projectors have consistently won some of the aud= io-visual industry's most prestigious awards, including, in June 1998, an E= mmy Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. At the heart of= TI's Digital Light Processing(TM) technology is the Digital Micromirror De= vice optical semiconductor chip. The DMD switch has an array of up to 1,310= ,000 hinged, microscopic mirrors which operate as optical switches to creat= e a high resolution, full color image.

The company's businesses also in= clude sensors and controls, and educational and productivity solutions.
