Monochrome LED projection

STAR 3.0 EVM monochrome LED light engine is a high performance DLP® projector based upon the Texas Instruments micromirror technology and designed to serve in demanding industrial or research applications.

STAR 3.0 EVM is available with the following options:

DLP7000

With its 0.7" XGA DLP® chip (DLP7000/DLP7000UV) and the DLPC410 controller the V-7001 VIS/UV creates binary patterns up to 22 727 Hz in the visible range (400 - 700 nm) or alternatively in the ultraviolet-range (363 - 420 nm).

DLP6500

The V-6501 VIS is based on a 0.65" 1080p DLP® chip (DLP6500) and the DLPC910 controller anabling binary pattern rates up to 10 309 Hz in the visible range (400 - 700 nm) with a light power density up to 25W/cm².

DLP650LNIR

Featuring a 0.65" WXGA DLP® chip (DLP650LNIR) and the DLPC410 controller the V-650L NIR supports binary pattern rates up to 10 752 Hz in near-infrared range (800 - 2 000 nm). Optimized for 950 nm to 1 150 nm up to 500W/cm² illumination power for partial illumination.

System Architecture

The central control unit of STAR 3.0 EVM is USB 3.0 connected and realizes pattern upload, display, and synchronization. An integrated trigger facility supports a wide voltage range at its opto-coupler interface and is software programmable. The digital driver for the LED light source gives convenient access to power setting and temperature reading for thermal management.

The STAR 3.0 EVM monochrome LED light engines are based upon the STAR CORE optics, a cooling system, the ALP‑4.3 software, and integrate a high-power LED including the ViALUX LED driver for up to 24 A.

The following LED wavelengths are available for:

λ [nm] = 405 / 460 / 525 / 615 / White (DLP6500)
λ [nm] = 730 / 850 / 940 (DLP650LNIR)
λ [nm] = 405 / 460 / 525 / 615 / White (DLP7000)
λ [nm] = 365 / 385 / 405 (DLP7000UV)

The ViALUX LED driver of the STAR 3.0 EVM is controlled by I²C commands for setting the LED current and reading the LED thermistor output and seamlessly integrates with V‑Modules.
