Yep, DLP still uses a mechanical color wheel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_light_processing?wprov=sfla1

Much to the chagrin of those of us who can see and are bothered by the colour flicker.

Had a color wheel in a DLP TV explode on me. Fairly easy to replace but it was a pain to clean out all the glass.
