adjust this distance, to reduce fresnel panel circular rings effects.

LCD TO LENS DISTANCE:

inch

FOCUS-LENGTH

adjust this distance = focal length of fresnel panel #1, so the output is parallel light beam.
LIGHT SOURCE point source light type, >10.000 lumens, color temperature: > 4000 dK, CRI > 84.

OBJECTIVE LENS use single, doublet or triplet lenses, use my multi FRESNEL PANEL lenses calculation to concentrate light to the calculate lenses objective lens. Must be combination. LCD PANEL slightly bigger than LCD Lens diameter will affect choose focal length of Size < 15" diagonal, panel size. fresnel panel #2 = slightly longer (~1,1x) how big of LCD panel area Display color > 16,7 M, Can use OHP fresnel can be projected without than LCD to LENS distance. panel, be carefull with the Resolution > 1024x768 (XGA), Shorter focal length will produce hotspot. At least lens Contrast ratio > 300:1, focal length. diameter = 1/6 of LCD hotspot on projected image. Response Time < 30 ms. diagonal size.

SCREEN all kind of smooth flat surface, light grey to white color with some reflective gain. Curved screen is better, but needs special calculation and difficult to DIY.
