Lenses for DMD projection by Sill Optics

July 21, 2015 By Zak Khan

The use of DMDs (Digital Mirror Devices) in modern industry is becoming more and more important. Applications like direct exposure systems, 3D-measuring devices or even 3D-printers use DMDs for pattern generation. To image this pattern onto a target requires special lenses, which take into account the fact that DMDs need illumination from the top with […]
