A digital micromirror device (DMD) is an optical semiconductor that controls light using an array of microscopic mirrors on a chip. Each mirror corresponds to a pixel in an image and tilt to reflect light in specific directions, forming the desired image. DMDs are primarily utilized in digital projection systems, such as digital light processing (DLP) projectors, where they generate high-resolution and high-contrast images through rapid mirror position adjustments. These devices play a vital role in industries requiring precise light control, including digital projectors, medical imaging, 3D printing, automotive head-up displays, and optical communications.

The market's growth is propelled by increasing demand for high-quality displays and imaging, as well as device miniaturization. The demand for high-definition projection systems is on the rise with consumers demanding enhanced visual experiences in home theaters, cinemas, and business presentations. DMD technology provides remarkable image quality, brightness, and resolution.
