PROJECTORS

ABSTRACT
 Projectors have become an essential part of
 homes, offices, and commercial establishments today.
 They produce realistic images that allow the users to
 immerse themselves in the world of their favorite
 movies and shows.
 Projector technologies have grown by leaps and bounds
 over the last several decades.
 The progress of the projectors is a result of continuous
 research and innovation.
 The story of the evolution of the projectors is as colorful
 and vibrant as the images they produce.
HISTORY
 Modern video projectors could not have
existed before the introduction of
computers.
 One of the earliest devices that resembled
a projector was the magic lantern. It was
created in 1659 by Christian Huygens, a
Dutch scientist who used a concave mirror
to direct light from a lamp onto a glass
slide that had the image. The light passed
through the glass slide and projected the
image on a screen using focusing lenses.
Magic lanterns were one of the first image
projecting devices to gain popularity in
the education and entertainment domains. 
WORKING PRINCIPLE OF
PROJECTOR

The simple projector requires a Screen , Backlight (lamp) , lens.


The assembly of this above requirements as shown in the figure.
The image displayed on the screen is focused by backlight and produces
virtual image.
 This virtual image is magnified with the help of lens.
MODREN PROJCETORS
 The types of modern projectors are
 3LCD.
 LCOS.
 DLP.
 SP2.
DLP Projectors
 The introduction of the Digital Light Processing (DLP)
technology was a significant leap in the projector landscape.
Overhead and slide projectors were adequate for still images,
slides, and transparencies; however, they were not as good for
presenting videos. 
 Dr. Larry Hornbeck invented the first DLP chip called the Digital
Micromirror Device (DMD) in 1987. The device consists of an
array of small mirrors wherein each mirror is responsible for
projecting one pixel on the screen. The mirrors reflect light from
a source like a Xenon lamp onto the projector screen to produce
the images. The alignment of the mirrors is controlled digitally
depending on the image that has to be output. 
WORKIG OF DLP PROJECTOR
 In DLP type projector
 The DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) acts as a screen and
the lightsource is focused on this DMD chip using optical
lens.
 The DMD chip reflects the image on lens which to be
projected.
 The image is magnified by lens and projected on the screen.
This DLP type projector made a simple flat form which allow us for easy
maintenance and
use of Projectors.
The DLP projectors can designed compactable as a pocket projector .
This projector helps the faculty in teaching classes and easy to use and carry etc.
