Abstract Due: 19 July 2023

Author Notification: 9 October 2023

Manuscript Due: 10 January 2024

The Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) was conceived at Texas Instruments in 1987, following a decade of work on analog deformable-mirror and cantilever-mirror devices. This particular optical MEMS or MOEMS device has been applied most famously to digital cinema projection systems, enterprise projectors and highly portable personal displays, all of which were enabled by DLP® technology. The DMD has been commercially available since 1996 leading to hundreds of products and innovative research projects spanning consumer, industrial, medical and automotive markets.

As was evident by this well-attended conference at Photonics West 2023, the DMD and associated evaluation modules are enabling many exciting new applications and equipment beyond traditional display systems. By bringing together scientists, technologists, and developers, the goal of this conference is to highlight new and interesting means of applying DLP technology to solve problems across various markets.

JOINT SESSION with BiOS BO500 and OE403
Biomedical Imaging and Cell Manipulation using a Digital Micromirror Device or MEMS Array
This special joint session is in conjunction with BiOS conference BO500: Imaging, Manipulation, and Analysis of Biomolecules, Cells, and Tissues. The utilization of the DMD and other Optical MEMS arrays to manipulate light has numerous medical applications ranging from cancer detection to operating room aids to the manipulation of individual cells.

Papers are solicited that address the uses of a DMD and other Optical MEMS arrays with:

3D medical visualization
confocal microscopes
cytometers
hyperspectral imaging
image-guided intervention
microscopy
optoelectronic tweezers
ophthalmology
organs on a chip
oxygenation measurements
phototherapy
selectable wavelength light sources
spectroscopy (including mobile spectroscopy)
structured light or 3D imaging
tissue illumination.

JOINT SESSION with OE401 and OE403
Advanced Fabrication using a Digital Micromirror Device or MEMS Array
Active research in the fields of advanced fabrication and MEMS Arrays, such as the digital micromirror device, have shown application and promise for implementing lithography and other forms of high precision printing. The purpose of this joint session is to explore the relationships between MEMS technology and fabrication as they relate to:

3D printing
additive manufacturing
lithography.

JOINT SESSION with OE702 and OE403
AR/VR Displays using DMDs or other SLM Devices
AR/VR is an exciting area of development. Much progress hinges on the capabilities of light modulators. The purpose of this joint session is to explore and demonstrate the capabilities of different light modulators.
