In 2009, the digital cinema market across India will begin to utilize digital light processing technology (DLP) as a resource for the entertainment industry. This technology is a result of Texas Instruments (TI), which has the patent on DLP technology. In DLP projection technology, the image is created by mirrors in a matrix on a semiconductor chip that is called a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). Each of these chips has around two million mirrors, and a three-chip projector can produce around 35 trillion colors, more than the naked eye can detect. According to Tony Adamson, manager of DLP Cinema Marketing said, “DLP complies with the Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) standards that are followed in Hollywood. With nearly 200 screens coming across India in 2009, this technology will allow the exhibitors to be truly digital from day one.”
