P R E S S R E L E A S E Texas Instruments Announces First DLP .55 XGA Chip DLP Chip to Enable Compelling New Price & Performance PointsDALLAS, Texas, March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE:TXN) today announced its DLP(TM) technology is now available in a .55 XGA resolution chip, which will allow compelling new price points for the popular XGA (1024 x 768) resolution. According to Pacific Media Associates, projectors with XGA resolution represent more than 45% of the projectors sold worldwide today. The DLP .55 XGA chip offering will complement the DLP .7 XGA chip by enabling products at breakthrough price points with the same stunning picture quality that DLP technology is known for. PLUS Vision Corp. was the first to announce a product with the new DLP .55 XGA chip -- the U5-532 projector was announced publicly two weeks ago. More manufacturers are expected to announce products soon. In designing the DLP .55 XGA component set, TI worked closely with customers to make the component set highly compatible with existing optical engines which minimized investments and improved time to market. The DLP .55 XGA chip was also designed to be compatible with the DDP2000 Imaging ASIC, which optimizes video reproduction capabilities, furthering the performance of products traditionally used in the business projection markets to provide impressive image quality for video viewing at home. "We're excited about this extension of our DLP Product line, a new chipset for our customers to innovate around and reach a new market of buyers," said Lars Yoder, Business Manager, TI DLP Front Projection Products. "This new chip was engineered to provide an affordable option for end-customers to attain XGA resolution in their next projector purchase with the advantages of DLP quality." DLP Products continues its strong growth in the front projection market. According to Pacific Media Associates (PMA), DLP technology closed 2004 with 47% worldwide market share, which represents ten consecutive quarterly gains and an impressive 14-point gain over 4Q03. The advantages of DLP technology, including outstanding picture reliability, no burn-in or fade, deep rich colors, and incredible, industry-leading contrast ratios, have led more and more manufacturers to choose DLP technology. The speed advantage of DLP technology also allows for a 1-chip architecture that provides razor-sharpness that will not misconverge over time, and excellent reproduction of fast video such as sports and live action with no motion lag.
