Improve printed circuit board (PCB) quality with 3D inspection
In my two decades with DLP Products , I’ve seen a wide variety of applications benefit from the use of DLP technology. The migration from 2D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) to 3D AOI for printed circuit board manufacturing and inspection is no exception. The continuing miniaturization of consumer electronics offers new opportunities to improve...

Driving the future of head-up display (HUD) with augmented reality (AR)
Navigating the future of head-up displays (HUD) for vehicles may sound like a lot of acronyms and buzzwords, but this display technology has huge potential for adoption in the coming years. IHS Automotive predicts worldwide sales of HUD-equipped vehicles to grow from 1.2 million in 2012 to 9.1 million by 2020 – and that’s not taking into...

Three big bets about the future of MEMS-based displays in electronic devices
From cars to kitchens and beyond, tiny chips glimmering with millions of microscopic mirrors are changing how we all see and interact with the next generation of consumer electronics. This paradigm shift is happening because of the advancement of smaller, more flexible, higher quality and more efficient optical MEMS. Advanced MEMS are propelling...

What to consider when developing an aftermarket head-up display (HUD)
Demand for automotive displays that go beyond traditional dashboards, instrument clusters and center cluster is growing as head-up display (HUD) innovation accelerates from a proven concept to commercial reality. Integrated HUD solutions offered by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) continue to appear in new automobiles. Aftermarket HUD solutions...

Capturing the “digital signature” – A new approach to material analysis
Recent advances in cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) have opened up organizations to the benefits of “Big Data,” allowing them to analyze a continuous flow of information. But how could these advancements impact the field of spectroscopy? Innovative companies like Optionline , where I serve as chief executive officer, are...

Five clever tricks for getting started with 3D printing
Today’s 3D printing industry is more robust than ever -- and continues to expand. By some estimates, the global 3D printing market will grow from $6 billion in 2015 to an estimated $20 billion by 2020 . There are many reasons fueling this growth . While many developers continue to use 3D printing for rapid prototyping, it is also helping to...

The pioneering work that led to the DMD
I started working at Texas Instruments in the late-1980s, a time after Dr. Larry Hornbeck invented the digital micromirror device (DMD) in 1987. The overall development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) upon which DLP ® chips are based was still in its infancy. With MEMS as a framework, the broad array of DLP technology applications that...

DLi develops microscopic molecular solution using DLP technology
Scientists are constantly looking for new ways to understand more about the smallest underpinnings of life. Visualizing things like molecular changes in neural brain cells, however, requires very specialized equipment that often doesn’t even exist yet. At Digital Light Innovations (DLi), this is where we come in. When researchers at NYU’s...

Beyond video games, what can bring augmented reality to the masses?
You’ve probably seen them wandering around your neighborhood. Perhaps you’ve witnessed a group of them at a local shopping center. With an estimated 20 million daily active users , smartphone-wielding Pokémon Go players are seemingly everywhere in a quest to “catch ‘em all.” But what is especially notable about...

Quick flexibility tips for customizing SNR and resolution on your spectrometer design
Engineers understand the essential importance of two key performance metrics for any spectrometer design: signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spectral resolution. SNR is the ratio of signal power to noise power. This is important because it determines the consistency of the spectrums measured. Resolution is significant because it determines the minimum...
