Event Description
LCD or DLP Projection?
Decisions, Decisions Texas Instruments DLP Marketing Juggernaut Hard to Beat
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines ? Projector engines, that is.
Since 1998, Texas Instruments DLP division has out-marketed, out-maneuvered, out-published and, according to many sales figures, even out-sold LCD in virtually all of the leading projector vertical market segments. I say virtually, because there are some markets in which DLP hasn't been playing, but when it does, it generally wins.
So why is it that DLP dominates? Is DLP technology that much better?
Truthfully, not really. In fact, I believe TI's magic is not necessarily in the technology as much as it is in the marketing. Hands-down, TI's marketing just simply BLOWS AWAY anything any of the individual 3LCD companies have done thus far. (per G. Kaye)
