Abstract

The DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM Evaluation Module (EVM) is a complete electronic and optical subsystem designed to control and interface with the DLP5530-Q1 chipset. The DLP5530-Q1 chipset consists of the DLP5530-Q1, the DLPC230-Q1, and the TPS99000-Q1. This chipset is combined with illumination and projection optics, RGB LEDs, and a photodiode and can be used to develop an automotive grade projector for applications such as windshield cluster display and transparent window displays where a holographic optical element (HOE) is used as the screen technology. This EVM uses narrow band LED illumination designed to work more efficiently with HOE films. This projector offers high brightness and high contrast of up to 2000:1 in a compact package of about 1 liter. It is made of robust metal housing and uses all glass optical elements, but these could potentially be traded for more cost effective plastic options in a production design.

The DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM is not a production design. It is intended for evaluation only.
