Performance Improvement SmartShutter™ is a dynamic aperture system that im- proves black levels and adds a large palette of dark Technologies grey shades. It does this by reducing light output during The 2005-2006 PTV product line uses several new dark scenes without negatively affecting other picture performance improvement technologies for LCD and characteristics.

Louvers Area Area Figure 1-5: Smart Shutter High Contrast Unit The 1080p technology in Mitsubishi’s DLP product line offers twice the pixel resolution of 720p HDTV. See Figure 1-6. Not only does this technology give a full 1920 x 1080 resolution, it does so using half the micro- mirrors.

The data is divided into two subframes, each with half the original data. During one of the subframes, the image is shifted down by 1/2 pixel. The eye integrates the two consecutive subframes to create the final image. This process is completd every 1/60 of a second, dis- playing all of the data, every frame, just as is the case for other traditional DMDs.

Dark Detailer 1080p Module Dynamic Black (DB) Module Figure 1-9: DLP Light Engine - 1080p and Dark Detailer Modules Dark Detailer™ is another type of dynamic aperture system used with DLP based models. It displays deeper blacks and better dark scene detail. The location of the Dark Detailer, also referred to as the Dynamic Black (DB) module, is shown with its cover removed in Figure 1-9.
