High-Performance Light Steering for Your Innovation

The DLPM980E Development Kit is a state-of-the-art programmable and complete PLMevaluation kit tailored for OEMs, engineers and researchers pushing the boundaries of optical precision. Designed around the 0.98” PLM chip, it offers unmatched resolution, frame rate, and pattern control for applications in advanced lithography, 3D metrology, high end microscopy, biomedical imaging, adaptive optics, digital holography, optical trapping, and more. The integrated PLM mirror bias voltage, which can be adjusted via software, allows adjustments to the wavelength of the illumination source for each individual pattern.

Equipped with an industry-leading PLM board (2048x1088 micromirrors, 10.8 µm pitch, 5 kHz, 4bit), the DLPM980E supports to store 7,700 binary patterns on-board and delivers blazing-fast switching rates up to 5000 holograms per second. The system integrates an 8 GB RAM module and leverages the DLPC641 controller and Xilinx XCZU7EG MPSoC to ensure reliable, high-throughput performance.

Design house partner and optics company IN-VISON Technologies AG has a strong team of optics and mechanical designers, offering one-stop shopping for PLM projects. With more than 20 years of experience in prototype development and series production of optronic solutions, the company is ideally positioned to implement phase light modulators.

Immediate use through IN-VISION´s software modules.

The hardware runs on IN-VISION’s proven software modules, enabling immediate use right out of the box:

  • PanOS: A Linux-based operating system providing a stable user experience and seamless integration of the device into in-field applications.
  • PanAPI: A software interface to the PLM-System offering comprehensive parametrisation and exhaustive control of even the most complex exposure processes.
  • PanGUI: An easy-to-use, graphical demo tool offering functionality for initial commissioning during integration of the device into a larger system.

Optical Control Without Limits

Whether you're developing structured light systems or building custom PLM display solutions, the DLPM980E provides a robust and scalable platform for precision light modulation. It´s compact controller and DLP boards (just 105×70 mm and 75×76 mm) fit easily into experimental setups or OEM assemblies.

What Makes the DLPM980E Stand Out?

✔ Engineered industrial use and high-end optical R&D
✔ Supports real-time hologram projection at 2048x1088 resolution and 5 kHz framerate
✔ Seamless PC connectivity with low-latency data streaming
✔ Fully programmable
✔ Designed for fast deployment in industrial and academic environments
