A projector is an electronic device that displays images or videos on a large surface such as a wall or projection screen. It works by using a strong light source and a lens system to enlarge and project the image.

How a Projector Works

A video signal comes from a laptop, computer, phone, or media player.

Inside the projector, a bright light source (lamp, LED, or laser) creates light.

The image is formed using technologies like LCD or DLP chips.

A lens projects the image onto a wall or screen, making it much larger.

Common Types of Projectors
