What is the difference between 3 LCD and DLP projectors?
3LCD is the most widely used projection technology system in the world. 3LCD technology employs three high-temperature polysilicon liquid crystal displays (HTPS LCDs), hence the name 3LCD. This is how 3LCD technology works: white light is divided into red, green, and blue using two dichroic mirrors, special mirrors that transmit light with a certain wavelength. Each colour is then passed through a dedicated LCD, before being combined with the other colours in a prism. The image is then ready to be projected onto the screen. DMD™* (Digital Micromirror Device) is a display technology where hundreds of thousands of carefully positioned micromirrors are arranged on a semiconductor substrate. Each mirror corresponds to a pixel and projects an image by reflecting the light from the source. 1-chip, and 3-chip systems are available. DLP™ (Digital Light Processing) is the name for the optical system that uses DMD™. *DLP™ (Digital Light Processing) and DMD™ (Digital Micromirror Device) are trade
