In various systems such as home projection, engineering projection and cinema projection, a DMD is mainly used as a key output device for imaging. In the case of high luminance output, the single DMD device becomes unstable when the temperature limit is exceeded due to heat dissipation limitations, and thus the use of multiple DMDs in combination becomes a good choice.
The key of the matched use of the plurality of DMDs lies in the height coincidence of the projection pixels, which not only needs to precisely adjust the relative positions of two or more DMDs during installation, but also ensures that the pixel coincidence degree of the plurality of DMDs can still be adjusted after the complete machine is installed and fixed, so as to prevent the projection pixels of the plurality of DMDs from being staggered due to the factors of stress release of surrounding structural members of the DMDs, shrinkage of glue curing process and the like after the installation. Therefore, it is critical to ensure a stable and reliable fixing of the DMD after the DMD is adjusted in position. On one hand, the DMD assembly needs to be firmly fixed, and the position deviation caused by conventional stress and vibration is avoided; on the other hand, the fixing mode of the DMD assembly needs to be ensured to be capable of effectively resisting the dislocation of the DMD projection image caused by different thermal expansion degrees of structural components around the DMD under different temperature conditions.
