How DLP™ Technology Works

In general, DLP™ technology combines microscopic mirrors, a specially designed semiconductor, and a color wheel to adjust light to display the most brilliant, accurate images! Your DLP™ HDTV doesn’t use Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs), which means you don’t have to worry about screen burn (fixed video images burning onto the screen permanently) or convergence (realigning the CRTs). The diagram on the left illustrates the complex system.

Thin and Light

The efficiency of DLP™ technology enabled our design team to create a high-performance HDTV that is about 16 inches thin and weighs less than 100 pounds.

Lamp Replacement

DLP™ technology uses a special lamp. Eventually, you’ll need to replace this lamp, which you can do yourself by following the instructions that come packed with the new lamp. To order the correct lamp, you’ll need to know your TV’s model number, serial number, and lamp type–this information is listed on the Service Model Number sticker (example of the sticker is shown on the left). Face the back of the TV. The sticker is located on the right side of the TV. The lamp type can also be found in the TV’s Lamp Power menu. Go to page 78 for more information. For future reference, write down the information in the space provided at the left.
