It is a modern equivalent of the slide projector or overhead projector. To display images, LCD ( liquid-crystal display ) projectors typically send light from a metal-halide lamp through a prism or series of dichroic filters that separates light to three polysilicon panels – one each for the red, green and blue components of the video signal.
A projector or image projector is an optical device that projects an image (or moving images) onto a surface, commonly a projection screen. Most projectors create an image by shining a light through a small transparent lens , but some newer types of projectors can project the image directly, by using lasers .
A video projector is an image projector that receives a video signal and projects the corresponding image onto a projection screen using a lens system. Video projectors use a very bright ultra-high-performance lamp (a special mercury arc lamp ), Xenon arc lamp , metal halide lamp , LED or solid state blue, RB, RGB or fiber-optic lasers to ...
Simulation of a spinning zoopraxiscope An early projector and seats from a movie theater. The main precursor to the movie projector was the magic lantern.In its most common setup it had a concave mirror behind a light source to help direct as much light as possible through a painted glass picture slide and a lens, out of the lantern onto a screen.
For classroom, businesses and houses of worship settings, 16:10 is the more commonly used projector screen aspect ratio because this matches the aspect ratio used by many modern computers. [ 5 ] Square-shaped screens used for overhead projectors sometimes double as projection screens for digital projectors in meeting rooms, where space is ...
An overhead projector works on the same principle as a slide projector, in which a focusing lens projects light from an illuminated slide onto a projection screen where a real image is formed. However some differences are necessitated by the much larger size of the transparencies used (generally the size of a printed page), and the requirement ...
A slide projector is an optical device for projecting enlarged images of photographic slides onto a screen. Many projectors have mechanical arrangements to show a series of slides loaded into a special tray sequentially.
The touchscreen personal digital assistant (PDA)–derived nature of adapted operating systems like Palm OS, the "Pocket PC" versions of what was later Windows Mobile, and the UIQ interface that was originally designed for pen-based PDAs on Symbian OS devices resulted in some early smartphones having stylus-based interfaces.
