A digital micromirror device (DMD) is a type of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) that consists of an array of tiny mirrors that can be individually controlled to reflect light in different directions. DMDs are commonly used in projection displays, such as digital projectors, to create images by rapidly switching the mirrors on and off to manipulate the light. DMDs have also found applications in other fields, such as optical communications, spectroscopy, and 3D printing. Researchers are continually exploring new ways to improve the performance and functionality of DMDs, including increasing the resolution, speed, and efficiency of the devices. Overall, research in the field of digital micromirror devices focuses on developing innovative techniques for controlling and utilizing these miniature mirrors to enable advanced optical technologies.
