Manufacturers already developing consumer devices on new, thinner,
smaller nHD DLP Pico(TM) chipset BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 15
/PRNewswire/ -- 12:30 p.m. CET: Today at GSMA Mobile World
Congress, Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE:TXN) DLP® Products announced
a new chipset, nHD, as an addition to the DLP Pico(TM) suite. nHD
will enable the thinnest, smallest DLP Pico(TM) engines to date.
nHD production availability is expected in the second quarter of
2010. The chip expands DLP's commitment to achieving world-class
performance, allowing projector technology to be embedded into
smaller devices in a wider range of product categories. (Photo:

to welcome the new nHD chipset into the DLP Pico family," said
Frank Moizio, manager, DLP Emerging Markets business. "We believe
this new nHD chipset sets new industry-leading benchmarks in pico
projection - enabling products with the highest efficiency and
brightness from the industry's thinnest, smallest physical
footprint. It achieves all of this with stunning picture quality.
We believe nHD will provide even more opportunities for
manufacturers to innovate with DLP." Leading global manufacturers
have already begun development on the nHD chipset, using its size,
brightness and resolution advantages to design embedded mobile
phones, cameras and products in other mobile device categories. The
addition of this new chipset, along with the success of DLP's WVGA
and HVGA chips for embedded applications, gives manufacturers
diverse design options that allow them the flexibility to include
projectors in a wide breadth of devices. At the 2010 International
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, TI DLP Products
showcased this breadth with more than a dozen new projection
devices from leading manufacturers, representing a variety of
product categories. Manufacturers such as Samsung, Optoma, LG and
HP showcased new pico projection products in categories such as
embedded mobile phones, gaming projectors, embedded media players,
notebook accessories, standalone projectors and projector
attachments for mobile phones. With manufacturers reacting to
consumer demand for DLP Pico(TM) projectors in ever-smaller
electronic devices, the new nHD chip provides an ideal projection
solution, given its tiny form factor and the stunning, clear images
it enables. The new DLP Pico(TM) solution delivers the following
features: -- nHD (640x360) resolution -- Enables leading contrast
ratio of better than 1,000:1 for the blackest blacks and most
accurate whites -- Enables true RGB LED wide color gamut for rich
saturated colors -- Improved power efficiency and electronic
footprint -- Incorporates a new low power Pico DPP2601/2607
ASIC/Processor -- Enables a greater than 20 percent thinner optical
module than WVGA chipset with full offset -- Enables a greater than
50 percent smaller optical module volume than WVGA chipset with
full offset To see DLP Pico(TM) technology in person at Mobile
World Congress, please stop by the Texas Instruments Booth located
in Hall 8-8A84. Texas Instruments will host a press conference at
the booth at 12 p.m. CET. For updated information during MWC about

DLP display technology from Texas Instruments offers clarity down
to the most minute detail, delivering pictures rich with color,
contrast and brightness projectors for business, home, professional
venue, digital cinema (DLP Cinema®) and large-screen HDTVs. Many of
the world's top projection and display manufacturers design,
manufacture and market products based on DLP technology. DLP is the
only imaging technology with a legacy in digital cinema where it
set the industry standard demonstrated by the deployment of DLP
Cinema technology in over 14,000 screens worldwide. At the heart of
every DLP chip is an array of up to 2.2 million microscopic
mirrors, which switch incredibly fast to create a high-resolution,
highly reliable, full-color image. DLP technology's chip
architecture and inherent speed advantage provides razor-sharp
images and excellent reproduction of fast motion video. Since early
1996, more than 20 million DLP subsystems have been shipped. For
