Lenses for DMD projection by Sill Optics
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 […]
