The article highlights the transformative impact of Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology on the cinema industry over the past 25 years, beginning with its invention by Larry Hornbeck at Texas Instruments in the late 1980s. Initially revolutionizing digital projection, DLP technology overcame the limitations of previous systems, leading to the digital premiere of “Toy Story 2” in 2000 through Christie’s DCP-H projector. This shift was further propelled by the introduction of the Virtual Print Fee, which facilitated the widespread adoption of digital projectors. Advancements continued with the development of stereoscopic 3DLP projectors and innovations in RGB pure laser illumination, culminating in an Academy Award for Scientific and Engineering achievement. Looking forward, Christie continues to innovate with technologies like VDR and new RGBH cinema projectors, promising to enhance the cinematic experience and address future challenges in the industry.
