The DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 EVM has the DLP4710 chipset comprising of DLP4710 (.47 1080p)
DMD, DLPC3439 display controller, DLPA3005 PMIC/LED driver, and supporting components as the
Cypress chip, MSP430, and ITE controller all included on one board. Figure 4 shows the locations of
these parts. The MSP430 is placed on the bottom of the board and is not shown in Figure 4.
EVM Setup
Figure 4. DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 Board
The DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 board has three LED connectors for red, blue, and green, and one
connector for the flex cable to the 0.47-inch 1080p DMD. The connectors for each LED are named on the
board as well as on the light engine. Refer to Figure 5 to see the proper setup.
NOTE: Ensure a good connection of the flex cable to the DLP LightCrafter Display 4710 board.
