Projectors and All You Need To Know About Them

Posted by Ricoh on January 7th, 2016

What is a projector?

A projector is an output device, designed to take an image from a video source and display it on a screen with as much clarity as possible. Projectors are used in a variety of ways with multiple applications. They are enjoyed by home theatre enthusiasts onto screens bigger than the available TVs. They are also used in corporate setting to project information on large screens. Projectors come in different sizes and shapes and are produced by various companies. 

Working of a Projector 

Projectors work on the principle of transparencies, while all data is imprinted on the top of these transparent coats. Be sure of a socket with live electricity before starting up the overhead projector. Inside the projector, usually is a television but the only difference is, it has two mirrors. The machine inculcates two bulbs- the operational bulb and the spare bulb. The bulb sends light beams to the mirror, and the second mirror catches it and diverts it to the last end, which helps focus the light on the screen. Unlike telescopes, they use mirrors to project images and documents. 

Uses of Projectors

These magnification devices are used in a variety of ways under different environments. In the corporate world, Standard projectors are ideal for business presentations as they allow you to display work from a computer on a screen big enough for potentially hundreds of people to see. They are also employed in schools with the intention of digitization of education sector and is a popular method of learning among private schools and NGOs. The consumer usage of projectors is limited in comparison to the industrial and secondary sector. However, it is a commonly used device by photographers, cinematographers, videographers and other production and capturing oriented industry. 

Future Applications of the Projector

Projectors have started to use lasers to generate light, what was once a realm of science fiction movies. Projectors provide the biggest, most immersive images you can see. Sure, you can buy a 70-inch TV today, but projection screens in the home are usually 100 inches or more in size, and that much more amazing to experience in person. In theaters, the sheer size of the screen is one of the best reasons to pay for going to the movies. When I saw in one of the best theatres in the world, it blew me away. That image was powered by lasers, and lasers can make your big-screen experience better too.
