DLP LightCrafter 4500 Module Overview
1.1 Welcome
The DLP LightCrafter 4500 evaluation module (EVM) allows evaluation of the DLP 4500 platform from TI.
This technology brings together a set of components providing an efficient and compelling system solution
for:
• 3D scanning structured light applications:
– 3D modeling and design
– Fingerprint identification and face recognition
– Machine vision and robotic factory automation
– Industrial inspection
• Medical and life sciences:
– Vascular imaging
– Hyperspectral imaging
– Dental impression scanners
– Intraoral dental scanners
– Orthopedics, prosthesis, CT, MRI, and X-ray marking
– Retail cosmetics
• Small display projectors:
– Embedded display
– Interactive display
– Information overlay
• Spectroscopy and chemical sensing
– Material identification
– Oil & Gas analysis
– Water & air quality
– Food & drug inspection
– TI NIRscan EVM uses the DLP4500NIR DMD (similar to the DLP4500 in the LightCrafter4500 EVM
and optimized for near-infrared light) in structured light mode to provide a high performance and
cost-competitive spectroscopy solution
1.2 What is in the LightCrafter 4500 EVM?
The DLP LightCrafter 4500 module consists of two subsystems:
• Light engine – includes the optics; red, green, and blue LEDs; and the 912 × 1140 diamond pixel 0.45-
inch WXGA DMD, heat sinks, and fan. The light engine produces approximately 150 lumens at 15-W
LED power consumption.
• Driver board – includes the LED driver circuits, DLPC350 DMD controller, power-management circuits,
DVI-to-RGB conversion with the TFP401, and a 32-MB flash storage
Figure 1-1 shows the major hardware components.
