picodlp projector is supported by OMAP. OMAP4430 SDP and EVM boards have an on board projector called as picodlp projector. picodlp would be connected to display sub system as a display panel. The panel would be connected using 24 bit parallel interface. It is a WVGA panel with 864 X 480 resolution. To know more about picodlp please visit: http://omappedia.org/wiki/PicoDLP_projector_guide picodlp is muxed with DSI2 so we can either use secondary LCD or picodlp. So the channel used is OMAP_DSS_CHANNEL_LCD2. GPIO pin settings are also required and are done in board file. Configuartion of picodlp involves passing number of commands through i2c. All these commands are defined in a panel header file. About DLP (Digital Light Processing): DLP is Texas Instruments award-winning display technology which has powered the worlds top projectors and displays, delivering pictures rich with color, contrast, clarity and brightness to screens of all sizes. Every DLP chip features an array of up to 2.2 million microscopic mirrors that switch at ultra high speeds an innovative advantage that remains cutting edge and ideal for current and future applications alike. The results are high-resolution, highly reliable, razor-sharp images, that even work with fast motion video. To learn more about DLP technology, please visit www.DLP.com picodlp on OMAP4430 boards would make use of same technology. picodlp makes use of i2c bus device at 0x1b address for sending configuration commands to panel. In software picodlp panel driver has an i2c client.
