[Update: a TechNewsWorld article about DLP competitors]

A new company, Miradia, is working on a technology said to compete with TI’s DLP chips.

Rather than produce out-and-out knockoffs, the start-ups are pursuing new design and manufacturing tricks to reduce the cost and size of the guts of projection TVs. Miradia, for example, sculpts its mirrors entirely from silicon, instead of the more expensive aluminum layer that TI uses to make its mirrors. “It’s a new way of making this device,” says Miradia Chief Executive Officer Greg Miller.
