Abstract
We present a light emitting diode (LED)-based ultramini digital micromirror device projector with a size of and a weight of . The LED illuminator inside this projector makes it possible to achieve a volume of by using a dichroic filter and a collimating lens. The illumination system consists of high uniformity of 93% through a microlens array as a homogenizer. A total internal reflection prism is also used to reduce the size of both the illumination system and the telecentric projection lens. A projection lens system with an ultrasmall track of , including a high modulation transfer function value of 0.4 at , an optical distortion of only 0.25 %, and a television distortion of 0.01%, is designed. Through the above superior specification, we can produce a () color display comparable in brightness to a laptop with a contrast of 3700:1. The device is compact and suitable for personal use.
