The application of FPGA-based reconfigurable computing technology in Digital Light Processing systems

Digital Micromirror Device(DMD) produced by Texas Instruments (TI) is the core chip of Digital Light Processing (DLP)systems which are used widely in customer usemil-itarymedicineeducation etc. In modern application such as 3D projector, Ultrasound light therapy, near infrared dynamic scene simulatorsilicon corrosion Printer and so on, it is not satisfied to use Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) as the center processor. The combination of ASIC´s powerful hardware processing ability with software´s programmable ability can be arrived by using FPGA-based reconfigurable computing technology to construct DLP systems. So it is possible for developers to deal with light smartly using digital methods and explore the potential processing ability of the DMD. Therefore, the efficiency and flexibility of DLP can be improved.
