Caution
About burning-in of the D-ILA device
Do not allow the same still picture to be projected for a long
time or an abnormally bright video picture to be projected.
Do not project video images with high-intensity or high con-
trast on a screen. The video image could be burnt into the
D-ILA device.
Use special care when projecting video games or computer
program images.
