@@ggboss8502 MEMS and semiconductors are related since many MEMS devices include control circuits and they share similar manufacturing processes. Photonics is a very specific branch of light manipulation using technologies similar to semiconductors (you can create voltage controlled light switches, for example), but in general these do not employ MEMS techniques. Having said that, MEMS devices such as the DMD described in the video can be used within photonic systems but only for relatively low speed switching compared to true photonic switches.

Soo im wondering if projector mems technology has been considered for use with vr/ar technology? The way how the eyes works is that light is bouncing around in a room so maybe u could shoot laser inside of eyeball to make hologram? They should use this and try to make a technology that totally shoots lasers directly into your eyes and you hallucinate holograms and 4dimensional VR/AR games and slowly burn your eyes out of your skull. That sounds to me like great idea to further drive the technocratic societies attention spans down the shitter. Then no more ‘mental illness’ because everyone will be surviving in a scarce environment.

I'm intimately familiar with this topic because I was an early adapter of DLP projectors for home theater use. 1-chip DLP has a serious flaw, in that, at any given moment, there is only one of the primary color being projected onto the entire screen. Some people are much more sensitive to the so called "rainbow effect." Moving your head quickly can exacerbate the issue. They reduced the problem by either spinning the RGB wheel faster, or doubling up the colors into RGBRGB wheel, so that one color stays on the screen for a shorter amount of time, each. Technically, even 3-chip DLP will have many pixels displaying just one color at some moments, but these are per-pixel effect, not whole screen effects. Fundamentally, what is projected onto the screen is a pulse-code-modulation pixels. Each pixel is either ON or OFF at any given time, and in case of 1-chip DLP, in one of the Red/Green/Blue. There is no grayscale. It's just ON or OFF. Each pixels blinks at incredibly fast rate, you can't normally tell, and the brightness is controlled by the rate of ON time, vs. OFF time (hence PCM). For example, 50% brightness would be represented as ON/OFF/ON/OFF/ON/OFF and so on. 1/3 brightness would be ON/OFF/OFF/ON/OFF/OFF, although they could throw in some randomness to making it look more natural to human brains.

a fun detail about the rainbow effect is that it gets significantly worse if you're not directly looking at it. The human eye is a lot more sensitive to motion at the fringes of vision (higher density of cones) than at its center and so if you look askance at it you see the flicker much more easily. Once you notice this it's really interesting how many other things you can see flicker--fluorescent lights, LCDs, and more!

Slight variance among individual mirrors won't matter at all. I also remember reading about how the molecular fatigue behavior is entirely different at nano scale. If macro scale physics numbers were applied, there's no way the hinges would last long enough to make the DMD chips viable, but they apparently don't behave that way, and are incredibly long lasting at nano scale.

@@PaulFisherere are several sources of flare in DMD. 1) the material below the mirror itself does show through a bit since it has to be exposed for a mirror to be free of its adjacent companions. While this is typically coated in a material selected to be as black as possible over the desired wavelength range, it’s not perfect. So even if 100% of light directed at the mirror is diverted, there will be some reflected light from the substrate. 2) the mirror can only tilt so far. Ideally you’d direct all the light onto a light dump orthogonal to the exit pupil, but the mirrors can’t flex 90 degrees, only about 10-12. So some light will be scattered from the mirror edges and the anchor via structure, letting a little light through even in the static full off position. 3) ideally, your light source would have total spatial coherence (or equivalently, be a point source at infinity). Real light sources are only partially coherent and have finite size, so some photons impinge on the mirror at a small angle. When these are reflected in the off state, some small amount of light will still go through the exit pupil. 4) the light dump material is chosen to be as black as possible and actively cooled from behind. However in practice, a true black body does not exist, so there will be a tiny amount of reflection which will bounce around the DMD cavity. Some of this will escape through the pupil.

MEMS in general are much more finicky and lower yielding to fab, not to mention they face very different challenges to CMOS. TI repurposed a lot of silicon equipment to make DMDs and I think the ROI of using apples to make orange juice was difficult to justify in the long term, especially with such stiff competition from Japan, Korea and later China.

I remember reading about MEMs as far back as the 80s, in EDN. Saw my first TI DLP projector, a consumer grade one, at the CES trade show, either in the late 90s, or early 2000s. I, too, once worked for a company that won an Oscar (Moviola). Though they won that Oscar decades before I was born.

DLP stuff is always fascinating to me. I had the privilege to work at TI in the UK from the late 90s to mid 00s, although not as part of the team supporting the DLP business. The DLP guys were generous with their time in explaining stuff and TI also produced quite a few internal papers on how the technology worked and the development history. I still have my copy of the TI Technical Journal which was dedicated to this topic.

Cool that you mention Mike! I love his channel. Highly recommend it for the electronic nerds like me.

Thanks, fascinating story. I worked with a GE Talaria projector in the early ‘80s, it gave a sharp and extremely bright image (which was essential because it was being used as a back projector in a well-lit TV studio). The thing did have drawbacks, slow to warm up, lousy colour purity and an interruption to the video feed would generate a line of bubbles in the oil which would take a couple of minutes to clear as the disc slowly rotated. As I recall, the potential for the oil to contaminate the vacuum in the light valve was circumvented by a catalytic device that ‘cracked’ large molecules to smaller ones that could be absorbed by a getter.

In the 1980's, people looked at 65 inches of TV and were like, bro, you like TV, or what? Smirks sometimes followed. We took the snide comments in stride, and continued to support the early expensive tech. We were pioneers!

5:00 You missed mentioning "adult films" in your list of what the Eidophor was used for (with reference to the image at 4:44)

Love my home single chip DLP. It uses 4 color RGBY variable speed wheel, can do true 24hz and 48hz, its amazing. Only downside some rainbow effects common to wheel projectors and chip resolution is 1024x576p down-converted from source HD, looks way better than that implies though, basically cinema quality on a 2 meter (80 inch) wide screen

15:00 I would argue the more significant advantage to braking out the RGB to dedicated chips, is that you get rid of the color disintegration effect (as the colors are no longer using time based sequencing, and the time base is instead confided merely to the luminance component of the image) one experiences when you pan your eyes over a single DLP projection, where you see individual color trails (instead of the final intended composited color) streak through your vision, a very noticeable and irritating effect of single chip DLP. Also, sometimes, commercial projectors use dedicated RGB light sources, instead of a prism, to separate out the color channels.

In 1999 I was living in New York, I drove over to New Jersey with a friend of mine that owned a movie theater, to see the Phantom Menace digitally displayed, having seen it already in a regular theater. I did have some issues with small swirling artifacts, but it seemed more like a software compression issue (additive/subtractive images) than a projector issue. My friend got us into the projection booth after the movie for a tour. We had to go through security and sign some papers, but it was worth it. What I found more interesting than the projector, was the computer system it was using, if I remember correctly, it was called a 'Pluto Box'. It had redundant drives that it could switch to incase of a problem, but you could program it a month in advance for showtimes, where it would also work the lights, sound, switch languages, and even pull back the curtain (if it had one). Seems like the norm now but was really impressive 24 years ago! =)

I didn’t actually make one. I was just required to make a research proposal as part of getting a PhD. The problem was that if you went into the infrared, the wavelengths would start getting longer than the width of the mirror, and if you went into the visible there would no longer be a noise advantage from multiplexing the signal due to the sources of noise found in visible vs infrared detectors. (It’s been over 25 years so I’m shaky on the details).

I loved our DLP rear projectionhd tv. Sad that went away as a product

Just to be clear, when you only have digital switching of the brightness, you have to have much finer control for when to turn each pixel on an off so that the right amount of light gets through. The control circuits essentially have make adjustments thousands of times a second, so the "refresh" rate for modern LCD and DMD are in the thousands of Hz.

The ability to project movies from digital stream rather than physical media opened up opportunities for the studios to have better control over leaking new releases before an official premiere presentation. The high profile productions are streamed into the projector’s buffer remotely from a trusted data center. Local operators cannot copy or access the movie stored in the projector, they can only play it at agreed times. The only bootlegging option is to record the new release with a camcorder. But thanks to the brightness and resolution of the DLP projector the quality of the bootleg is often good enough.

There are several sources of flare in DMD. 1) the material below the mirror itself does show through a bit since it has to be exposed for a mirror to be free of its adjacent companions. While this is typically coated in a material selected to be as black as possible over the desired wavelength range, it’s not perfect.

15:45 Huh??? You seem to have a very small world. Everyone i know in Asia has seen The Phantom Menace. I've watched it myself in the theaters back when it came out here in Asia.

Ah you just reminded me of the old DLP projection TV my parents bought way back in 2005 from Samsung... It looked good while it worked, but it was a total money pit (it's primary push was that it used the then novel mems to achieve brightness and contrast ratios that put plasma and later many early OLED to shame). It's MSRP was $5k USD parents later spent 3k in repairs, with it's eventual demise in 2011.

1/60 of a second is enough to perceive the flickering of the colorwheel. It was the major drawback of DLP projectors. It was noticeable especially when our eyes make saccadic movements.

I’m surprised you only compared DLP to other video technologies with no mention of the 35mm (and 70mm) film that was THE standard (and only option) for cinema before DLP. 35mm was largely in use up until 2008/9 and slightly beyond.

This episode had more to do with the projector rather than the storage medium. It is a big part of the story, but maybe it is an aspect told later/elsewhere.

Around 1993 my employer, Alphatronics, made probe cards for testing IC dies while still on the wafer, and one customer was TI. A common error for the probe tester was for the lift device to fail before the probes were translated to the next die. This was generally catastrophic for the probe card and the wafer. We got one probe card back from TI with bent tips and a gray smudge on the underside. Under a microscope the smudge resolved into itty bitty glitter- someone at TI had about seven million years of bad luck coming.
