A High-Frame-Rate Display Method for Multiple Synergistic Digital Micromirror Devices Involving Large Target Surfaces

This study proposed a large-target-surface and high-frame-rate display method using multiple Digital Micromirror Devices (DMDs) for high-resolution, high-frame-rate aerospace applications. DMDs offer high frame rates and contrast ratios, but their surface size is constrained. By employing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) with synchronization signals for grayscale modulation and synchronizing multiple DMDs, this method achieved a target surface four times larger than a single DMD at 400 Hz frame rate, with synchronization errors below 10 ns. This enhances simulation efficiency and provides an effective infrared scene simulation solution.

Abstract

This study proposed a large-target-surface and high-frame-rate display method using multiple Digital Micromirror Devices (DMDs) for high-resolution, high-frame-rate aerospace applications. DMDs offer high frame rates and contrast ratios, but their surface size is constrained. By employing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) with synchronization signals for grayscale modulation and synchronizing multiple DMDs, this method achieved a target surface four times larger than a single DMD at 400 Hz frame rate, with synchronization errors below 10 ns. This enhances simulation efficiency and provides an effective infrared scene simulation solution.
