EKB is a Texas Instruments‑certified DLP® Design‑House that designs, engineers and manufactures turnkey DLP projection light engines and production platforms, including custom optics, illumination, electronics and control software.  EKB also specializes in conventional optics design for designs that do not include SLMs (spatial light modulator), optical consulting and specifically in diffractive optical design including laser beam shaping and the fabrication and testing in practice.

All critical work; optical & micro‑optical design, LED/laser illumination, electronics, firmware and final assembly is done in‑house, so EKB can deliver either ready‑to‑install standard modules or fully bespoke engines far faster than piecemeal suppliers. EKB specializes in providing full solutions to its client therefore offers tailor design to its clients either by customization of one of its owned offered platforms or a completely new design from foundation level.

Today EKB engines drive SLA 3‑D printers, structured‑light 3‑D scanners, robotic and cobot vision systems, medical & ophthalmic imaging devices, opto-genetics, automated optical‑inspection (AOI) stations, HUD prototypes and more. 

Auf unserer Seite „In der Forschung“ sind von Experten begutachtete Studien aufgeführt, die auf EKB-Hardware basieren. Diese reichen von Voll-Windschutzscheiben-HUDs und UV-Additivfertigung bis hin zu NIR-Strukturlichtscans und optogenetischer Bildgebung, einschließlich exotischer Wellenlängenmischungen wie UVGB (UV, GRÜN, BLAU) und UVBA (UV, BLAU, BERNSTEIN).

The E‑Store offers LightCrafter E4500 MK II (0.45″ WXGA), E4760 4 K (0.47″ 3840 × 2160 XPR), short‑throw, fiber‑coupled, UV (365/385/405 nm), visible RGB and NIR printer platforms. Systems are auto added to our production queue when ordered through estore or manually as part of direct engagement with our team (upon order); check each SKU for current availability.

Ja. Unser Serviceteam kann Wellenlänge, Projektionsverhältnis, Mechanik, Elektronik und Firmware optimieren oder einen komplett neuen Motor bauen.

Standard offerings span 0.20″ WVGA, 0.30″ 720p, 0.45″ WXGA, 0.47″ 1080p & 4K XPR, 0.65″ 1080p and 0.90″ WQXGA, resolutions from 854 × 480 up to 4096 × 2160.

Absolutely. Our catalog includes 365 / 385 / 405 nm UV, visible RGB (high‑brightness green 520 nm, blue 450–475 nm etc.) and NIR 808 nm/ IR engines of compatibility in IR of up to 940nm , and we can mix or switch sources as needed.

Yes, choose short‑throw (TR ≤ 0.8), ultra‑short‑throw (≈ 0.5), fiber‑coupled or our iHUD® platform under Production Platforms or the 0.47″ product family. 

Add items to the E‑Store cart for instant pricing or contact us with part number and quantity. We will get back to you with a formal quotation as soon as possible. 

If you are looking for a tailored solution, as a certified TI-design house, we can customize optics, wavelengths/light-sources, throw ratios, fibre outputs and even firmware or mechanical housings. 
Just outline the modifications you need when contacting us.

Most product pages include a “Download STEP FILE” or datasheet link, plus firmware packages where applicable (see any E4500 MK II listing for an example). If a needed file is missing, please contact us and we’ll send it right away.

Der Physiker Dr. Larry Hornbeck von Texas Instruments erfand 1987 nach zehnjähriger MEMS-Forschung das erste digitale DMD-Line-Array. Das erste DMD-basierte Produkt (ein Flugticketdrucker) wurde 1992 ausgeliefert, der erste kommerzielle DLP-Projektor folgte 1997. Heute steckt die Technologie in vielen Anwendungen, von Kinoprojektoren über 3D-Drucker bis hin zu HUDs.

Most single‑DMD engines follow one of three layouts:
• TIR‑prism architectures for compact visible projectors;
• Offset illumination with fold mirrors for short‑throw or UV engines;
• Telecentric relay optics for direct‑imaging and 3‑D printing. \nTI’s application note DLPA022 “DLP System Optics” details illumination angles, prism coatings and lens selection, plus the trade‑offs between brightness, uniformity and package size.

TI’s application report DLPA026 walks you through building a structured‑light scanner with a DLP LightCommander™ kit. It covers pattern generation, camera synchronization, calibration routines and point‑cloud reconstruction, providing a step‑by‑step sample implementation and GUI screenshots.

In a DLP stereolithography printer, sliced CAD layers are projected as full‑frame UV images that cure an entire resin layer at once, enabling high resolution and fast build times. TI’s 3‑D‑printing brief explains chipset choices (from 0.3″ WQHD to 0.95″ WQXGA), near‑UV window options, and design tips for both desktop and industrial printers.

Scan‑n‑Print is EKB’s hybrid module that combines 3‑D scanning, UV printing and visible marking in one DLP engine. Using a dual‑wavelength design (e.g., 405 nm UV + 808 nm NIR), the unit can project structured light for measurement, cure resin for printing, and display visible graphics; making it a “three‑in‑one” platform for next‑generation combo printers and HUD prototypes.
