From there, light either enters the lens (yellow) or is reflected off the top cover down into a light-sink (blue arrows) to absorb unneeded light. Top row shows overall components, closeups of 4-segment RGBW color wheel, and light-sink diffuser/reflection plate on top cover. </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>In a projector with a single DLP chip, colors are produced either by placing a <a href="/wiki/Color_wheel_(optics)" title="Color wheel (optics)">color wheel</a> between a white <a href="/wiki/Lamp_(electrical_component)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lamp (electrical component)">lamp</a> and the DLP chip or by using individual light sources to produce the primary colors, <a href="/wiki/LED" class="mw-redirect" title="LED">LEDs</a> or <a href="/wiki/Laser" title="Laser">lasers</a> for example. The color wheel is divided into multiple sectors: the primary <a href="/wiki/Additive_color" title="Additive color">additive colors</a>: red, green, and blue, and in many cases white (clear). Newer systems substitute the primary <a href="/wiki/Subtractive_color" title="Subtractive color">subtractive colors</a> cyan, magenta, and yellow for white. The use of the subtractive colors is part of the newer color performance system called BrilliantColor which processes the additive colors along with the subtractive colors to create a broader spectrum of possible color combinations on the screen. </p><p>The DLP chip is synchronized with the rotating motion of the color wheel so that the green component is displayed on the DMD when the green section of the color wheel is in front of the lamp. The same is true for the red, blue and other sections. The colors are thus displayed sequentially at a sufficiently high rate that the observer sees a composite "full color" image. In early models, this was one rotation per frame. Now, most systems operate at up to 10× the frame rate. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Black_level" title="Black level">black level</a> of a single-chip DLP depends on how unused light is being disposed. If the unused light is scattered to reflect and dissipate on the rough interior walls of the DMD and lens chamber, this scattered light will be visible as a dim gray on the projection screen, when the image is fully dark. Deeper blacks and higher contrast ratios are possible by directing unused HID light away from the DMD and lens chamber into a separate area for dissipation and shielding the light path from unwanted internal secondary reflections. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Color_wheel_"rainbow_effect""><span id="Color_wheel_.22rainbow_effect.22"></span>Color wheel "rainbow effect"</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Digital_light_processing&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Color wheel "rainbow effect""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:DLP_rainbow_effect.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/DLP_rainbow_effect.JPG/220px-DLP_rainbow_effect.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/DLP_rainbow_effect.JPG/330px-DLP_rainbow_effect.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/DLP_rainbow_effect.JPG/440px-DLP_rainbow_effect.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2272" data-file-height="1704" /></a><figcaption>The rainbow effect found in 1DLP projectors only utilizing a mechanical spinning wheel</figcaption></figure><p>Single-chip DLP projectors utilizing a mechanical spinning color wheel may exhibit an anomaly known as the "rainbow effect". This is best described as brief flashes of perceived red, blue, and green "shadows" observed most often when the projected content features high contrast areas of moving bright or white objects on a mostly dark or black background. Common examples are the scrolling end credits of many movies, and also animations with moving objects surrounded by a thick black outline. Brief visible separation of the colors can also be apparent when the viewer's gaze is moved quickly across the projected image. Some people perceive these rainbow artifacts frequently, while others may never see them at all. </p><p>This effect is caused by the way the eye follows a moving object on the projection. When an object on the screen moves, the eye follows the object with a constant motion, but the projector displays each alternating color of the frame at the same location for the duration of the whole frame. So, while the eye is moving, it sees a frame of a specific color (red, for example). Then, when the next color is displayed (green, for example), although it gets displayed at the same location overlapping the previous color, the eye has moved toward the object's next frame target. Thus, the eye sees that specific frame color slightly shifted. Then, the third color gets displayed (blue, for example), and the eye sees that frame's color slightly shifted again. This effect is not perceived only for the moving object, but the whole picture. Multi-color LED-based and laser-based single-chip projectors are able to eliminate the spinning wheel and minimize the rainbow effect since the pulse rates of LEDs and lasers are not limited by physical motion. Three-chip DLP projectors function without color wheels, and therefore do not manifest this rainbow artifact."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Three-chip_projectors">Three-chip projectors</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Digital_light_processing&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Three-chip projectors"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A three-chip DLP projector uses a prism to split light from the <a href="/wiki/Lamp_(electrical_component)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lamp (electrical component)">lamp</a>, and each <a href="/wiki/Primary_color#handprintprimaries" title="Primary color">primary color</a> of light is then routed to its own DMD chip, then recombined and routed out through the <a href="/wiki/Lens_(optics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lens (optics)">lens</a>.

Since 2021 a laser light source has become very common on many professional projectors, for example the Panasonic PT-RZ990.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Xenon_arc_lamps">Xenon arc lamps</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Digital_light_processing&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Xenon arc lamps"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>For <a href="/wiki/Xenon_arc_lamp" title="Xenon arc lamp">xenon arc lamps</a>, a constant-current supply is used, which starts with a sufficiently high open-circuit voltage (between 5 and 20 kV, depending on lamp) to cause an arc to strike between the electrodes, and once the arc is established, the voltage across the lamp drops to a given value (typically 20 to 50 volts<sup id="cite_ref-superior_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-superior-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) while the current increases to a level required to maintain the arc at optimal brightness. As the lamp ages, its efficiency declines, due to electrode wear, resulting in a reduction in visible light and an increase in the amount of waste heat. The lamp's end of life is typically indicated by an LED on the unit or an onscreen text warning, necessitating replacement of the lamp unit. </p><p>Continued operation of the lamp past its rated lifespan may result in a further decrease in efficiency, the <a href="/wiki/Lightcast" title="Lightcast">lightcast</a> may become uneven, and the lamp may eventually become hot enough to the point that the power wires can melt off the lamp terminals. Eventually, the required start-up voltage will also rise to the point where ignition can no longer occur. Secondary protections such as a temperature monitor may shut down the projector, but a thermally over-stressed quartz arc tube can also crack or explode. Practically all lamp housings contain heat-resistant barriers (in addition to those on the lamp unit itself) to prevent the red-hot quartz fragments from leaving the area. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="LED-based_DLPs">LED-based DLPs</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Digital_light_processing&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: LED-based DLPs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The first commercially available LED-based DLP HDTV was the <a href="/wiki/Samsung" title="Samsung">Samsung</a> HL-S5679W in 2006, which also eliminated the use of a color wheel.
