D-ILA™ Structure
The D-ILA™ device is a reflective type of LCD that
delivers a higher aperture ratio (more than 93%)
than a transmissive LCD panel, and is comprised of
groups of pixels which correspond to each image
dot. Also unlike conventional transmissive LCD
panels (in which the driving transistor is mounted on
the same surface as the pixels), the D-ILA™ s
driving IC substrate is located behind the liquid
crystal layer. As a result, the D-ILA™ device can
achieve higher brightness and higher resolution at
the same time. In addition, thanks to the vertical
alignment (“homeotropic” structure) of the liquid
crystal layer, projected images also have much
higher contrast.
D-ILA™ — Projector Device Innovation
D-ILA™ Operation
The light from the xenon lamp travels through a
polarized beam splitter (PBS), which is reflected off
the D-ILA™ device, then passed through the
projection lens and onto the screen.
