For example, assume that the ratio of red, green and blue color cycle times are as listed in Table 2 (in order to

achieve the desired white point) then the resulting nominal landed duty cycle for various combinations of red,

green, blue color intensities are as shown in Table 3.

The last factor to consider when estimating the landed duty cycle is any applied image processing. In the

DLPC34xx controller family, the two functions which influence the actual landed duty cycle are Gamma and

IntelliBright™, and bitplane sequencing rules.

typically set to 1.

In the DLPC34xx controller family, gamma is applied to the incoming image data on a pixel-by-pixel basis. A

typical gamma factor is 2.2, which transforms the incoming data as shown in Figure 20.
