Televisions, home theatre systems and business projectors using DLP™ technology rely on a s ingle DMD chip co nfi guration like the
one described above. White light passes through a c olor whe el filter, causing red, green and blue light to be shone in sequence on

color shining on them. T he human visual system integrates the sequential color and sees a full-color image.
