Comparison To DLP Technology
DLP uses MEMS technology, which stands for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems. DLP HDTV chips include hundreds of thousands of microscopic mirrors which tilt back and forth, reflecting light which is then projected onto a television screen. While Liquid Fidelity creates an HDTV image by controlling the amount of light reflecting from it, DLP creates an HDTV image by varying the percentage of the time that its mirrors are aimed toward the projection screen.
The main advantage of Liquid Fidelity over DLP is that the 1080p Liquid Fidelity chip has over 2 million cells, in an array of 1920 x 1080, for true 1080p pixel resolution. The 1080p DLP chips designed for consumer HDTVs have only half that number of microscopic mirrors, and use yet another mechanism to create 2 pixels from each of those mirrors.
By providing a dedicated cell for every pixel, Liquid Fidelity technology provides a sharp, stable picture with smooth, fine texture.

Famous quotes containing the words comparison and/or technology:
“Away with the cant of “Measures, not men!”Mthe idle supposition that it is the harness and not the horses that draw the chariot along. No, Sir, if the comparison must be made, if the distinction must be taken, men are everything, measures comparatively nothing.”
—George Canning (1770–1827)
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
