Some digital projectors use DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, which Texas Instruments developed, to project images. These projectors contain a DLP board that contains a memory chip, a microprocessor, and a specialized optical semiconductor called a DMD (Digital Micromirror Device). The screen on a computer monitor is composed of thousands of pixels, or picture elements; each pixel has red, green, and blue subpixels that, when illuminated, form an image. Something similar occurs in a digital projector. The DMD is only about 1/2-inch wide and contains close to 1 million microscopic mirrors. Each mirror represents a pixel. As the DMD receives data that tells it how bright each pixel should be, it switches the angle of each mirror. The DMD switches its mirrors thousands of times per second, directing each mirror to display the appropriate color and brightness. This would create a monochrome (black and white) image if it weren't for a color filter. The color filter lies between the projector's bulb and the DLP board and directs the correct combination of red, green, and blue light toward the DMD's mirrors, adding color.

There are two types of projectors: LCD and DLP. LCD uses 3 LCD panels (red, green, blue) to create a colored projected image. DLP uses mirrors and a color wheel to create the image.
DLP is The DLP board is an inaccurate term, but they are referring to the motherboard of the projector. The motherboard of a DLP projector contains the DMD chip, scaler, video processing and controls the DLP color wheel, power supply and keypad. The technical term for this board is the Controller ECA board, but no one know this unless they have taken a projector apart before or repair them before. I use to write the repair manuals for these, so I have done both before.

Digital Light Processor is a projection engine from Texas Instruments that uses thousand of tiny mirrors to project a TV signal.
