Capable of flagging each individual pixel of up to 1000:1 of the total incident light before it hits the DMD's correspondent mirror, precise black to 50% grey shading and absolute blacks are obtained while not affecting the above 50% to 100% white areas of the image, providing a new dimensionality and wide grayscale image gradation never before achievable, with true-to-life contrast ratios from pure white to the deepest blacks, well in excess of 1,000,000:1.
