The DLP chip is probablythe world’s most sophisticated light switch. It contains a rectangular array of up to 2 millionhinge-mounted microscopic mirrors; each of these micro mirrors measures less than one-fifth thewidth of a human hair. When a DLP chip is coordinated with a digital video or graphic signal, alight source, and a projection lens, its mirrors can reflect a digital image onto a screen or
