The lens then focuses this light onto the retina, where photoreceptor cells, namely rods and cones, convert light into electrical signals. These signals are subsequently processed and transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, enabling visual perception. Texas Instruments' Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology is a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology that modulates light using a digital micromirror device (DMD). Each micromirror on a DMD represents a pixel on the screen and is independently modulated, in sync with color. The eye is perhaps the most interesting of all optical instruments. However, our eyes commonly need some correction, to reach what is called “normal” vision, but should be called ideal rather than. The pupil is the dark, circular opening located in the center of the iris, which is the colored part of the eye. When light is introduced to one eye, the light stimulates both sets of nerves (the nerves from the same eye and the nerves from the other eye).
