Introduction
Motivation for using LEDs: Colours, Lifetime,
Colour Saturation
• > 100% NTSC achievable
for saturated colours
• Colour space can be made to
match video standards exactly
• Selectable white point
Lifetime
• Conventional Lamp:
50% preserve 50% brightness in x h,
Æ 1/2 can fail
Æ Guarantee for a few 100 h
•
Many More:
• Cost
• More suppliers
• Simple electronics
• Instant on/off
• Low voltage
• Low pressure
• Colour Break-Up reduction
• No Colour Wheel: noise reduction

Introduction
DMD Microdisplays for High Light Throughput at High Contrast
•
120 W Lamp : 6000-7000 Lumens
– 4000 – 5000 in Aperture
– 500-1000 out of projector
– ~10% light throughput standard
•
Goal: reach same screen brightness (Nits)
with only ~1000 Lumens from LEDs
•
High light throughput
– Large area microdisplays: 0.7", 0.85",
0.9" diagonal
– Wide opening angle optics (Low F/#)
•
Liquid Crystal Imagers (LCD, LCOS)
– Three panels with colour combiner for
polarized light
– Required low F/# limits constrast ratio
•
Digital Micromirror Device (DMD)
– Single panel requires sequential colour

Geometrical Optical Requirements
DMD is the key component
•
Etendue is the geometric extent of the optical system
– E = π n² A sin²θ
– Component with the smallest etendue limits the brightness of the system
(usually the DMD)

LED – small area, large angle
DMD – large area, small angle

System Design Methodology
•
Goals:
– Maximum Screen Brightness
– Good Image Quality
– Competitive Cost
Æ Optimize combination of parameters:
– Optical
(light throughput, image quality)
– Electrical (driving conditions, power consumption)
– Thermal
(heat dissipation, operating temperature)
•
Upstream design:
– from the screen
– through the lens
– to the LED (surface emitter) – instead of to the lamp (volume emitter)

Since LEDs are brightness-limited, make full use of available etendue
– NB. Additional constraints imposed by power consumption, heat dissipation,
manufacturing tolerances, cost, ...
Monolithic Solution:
Tiled Solution:
Moffat / CZ AG / LEDs an der Schwelle zum Einsatz in Projektionssystemen
Pro:
Efficient – matched geometry
Con:
Costs for yield and custom size
Spec. uniformity across chip area
Thermal stress in pulsed operation
Large drive currents
Pro:
Standard LED chips as building blocks
Low Current, Voltage for LED-Strings
Con:
Less efficient – gaps, approx. geometry
Spec. uniformity across chips on a module
2xN arrays (favoured due to bond wires)

LED Light Output Variations
Adjust Duty Cycles to Maintain White Point
•
LEDs manufactured in brightness bins
– Bin width of +/-20% typical for high-brightness LEDs
– Full distribution typically 2:1 in luminous flux (4-5 bins) !
~20% Minimum to
ensure image bit depth

LED Light Output Variations
Projector Manufacturability with Matched Sets of Three LEDs
•
•
Projector output shows less variability than LEDs
– But: total projector output variability should be +/-10% over all components!
Avoid arbitrary combinations of LEDs
– Specify and obtain matched sets of three LEDs
