So here is a small reference guide for all DLP tvs, the light engine showed is from a Samsung TV.
The light engine is composed of 3 main components:
-Light tunnel.
-DMD board.
-Color wheel.
The light tunnel is located trough out the light engine, the lamp produces a white light, goes trough the color wheel, and goes out trough the light canons lens.

When you go and buy a light engine, the color wheel and/or DMD is NOT always included.
You have to double check the description.
