DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
The design process begins by determining the system requirements for a custom application. Some of these requirements include form factor, frame rate, resolution, interface, F#, brightness, telecentricity, and light source considerations. After the specific requirements have been established, DLi will work closely and collaboratively to establish a development schedule and deliverable timeline for project completion. We will tailor a turn-key solution that includes electronics, optics, light source, firmware and software.
CUSTOM OPTICS
DLi offers a full range of DLP® and non-DLP® custom optics design services. We specialize in developing complete projection systems that include optics, mechanical, electrical, firmware and software for industrial, commercial and consumer applications. We provide custom lens development that includes optical design, mechanical design and prototype delivery. Our optics team has designed hundreds of optical systems for DLP Cinema®, DLP® Discovery™, Pico Projectors, military and non-DLP® related applications and has nearly 30 DLP® related patents. In addition to complete engine and lens designs, DLi can also design and prototype optical elements:
- TIR and RTIR Prisms
- Illumination Optics (LED, laser, Lamp)
- Integrating Optics (Fly-eye lenses and integrators)
- Aspheres
- Lens Adapters
- Filters
We then use Zemax software to design the optics and AutoCAD or SolidWorks to design the mechanicals. Once the development project is complete, DLi can be your original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and manage your supply chain.
