A step up from LCD technology is the emergence of DLP TV’s. DLP, which stands for Digital Light Processing, contain a fast microchip called the DMD chip. These chips, containing numerous amounts of mirrors arranged in a grid like pattern, can deflect dots of light onto the television screen. The mirrors are controlled by high voltages that can switch them from the on or off position—the on position tells the mirror to reflect light to the screen and the off position turns the mirror away from the screen to keep light from shining from it. Colors are created with quick rotations of the three basic color filters in front of the light source to create colored images. DLP technology is fast becoming popular because it is considerably thinner than traditional CRT TV’s and it can process images much faster and sharper than LCD’s.
