What a DMD chip looks like in operation | DLP projector teardown

That's a Digital Micromirror Device. A thing I always wanted to see, but never found a projector which was broken enough to be in the trash but yet still working enough to produce an image - until now.

Pixels on a computer screen are complicated too, but at least the logic behind them is simple. These micro mirrors are insane! I'm blown away that they can produce the giant image on a movie screen, thanks for the great footage and research here.

Whoever invented this micro-mirrors, is a genius.

I was just recommended to watch this. Awesome channel! Hope the CZcams algorithms will work for you to get the views you deserve.

Your content is super interesting mate! I just rescued an IBM Selectric from landfill, searched and your video came up, loving watching your other ones too!

My first real job in 1987 was as a trainee office equipment technician for IBM, and I pretty much exclusively worked on the selectrics. They were a dog to work on, but very clever.

The mirrors switch at up to 10k times per second, which is how brightness is approximated.

Honestly quite incredible
