Preface on Projector
It is an electronically modulated optical device made up of
number of pixels filled with liquid crystals arrayed in front of a light source (backlight) or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome.

It is a vital piece of Electronic Equipment which is required for all types of


presentations, conferences, seminars etc.

Projectors can be categorized into two technologies: DLP (Digital Light Processing) LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

Cont
The distinction is that DLP projectors increase the overall brightness of the projected image by sacrificing image color info.
The result is an image that can appear washed out at times, and if the image can actually be quite bright, it may lack the depth of color than LCD projectors can provide.

History
1888: Friedrich Reinitzer discovers the liquid crystalline nature of cholesterol extracted from carrots (that is, two melting points and generation of colors) 1936: The Marconi Wireless Telegraph company patents the first practical application of the technology, "The Liquid Crystal Light Valve". 1972: The first active-matrix liquid crystal display panel was produced in the United States by Westinghouse.

Mechanism
Each pixel of an LCD typically consists of
a layer of molecules aligned between two transparent electrodes, and two polarizing filters, the axes of transmission of which are (in most of the cases) perpendicular to each other.

With no actual liquid crystal between the polarizing filters, light passing through the first filter would be blocked by the second (crossed) polarizer.

The surfaces of the electrodes that are in contact with the liquid crystal material are treated so as to align the liquid crystal molecules in a particular direction.
This treatment typically consists of a thin polymer (chemical) layer that is unidirectional rubbed (scratched) using, for example, a cloth. The direction of the liquid crystal alignment is then defined by the direction of rubbing. Electrodes are made of a transparent conductor called Indium Tin Oxide (ITO).

Protocol
Pros:
Very compact and light. Low power consumption. No geometric distortion. Little or no flicker depending on backlight technology. Not affected by screen burn-in. No high voltage or other hazards present during repair/service. Can be made in almost any size or shape.
February 27, 2012 By: Biswaji Paul, Dipayan Ghosh, Khageswar Garnayak, M. Sabyasachi, Madan Joshi & Chandan 12

Protocol
Cons:
Limited viewing angle, causing color, saturation, contrast and brightness to vary, even within the intended viewing angle, by variations in posture. Bleeding and uneven backlighting No geometric distortion. Covering and ghosting objects caused by slow response times (>8 ms) and "sample and hold" operation. Input lag Dead pixels Cannot be used with light guns/pens. In a constant on situation, thermalization may occur (looks discolored compared to the rest of the screen). Not all LCDs are designed to allow easy replacement of the backlight.

Benefits
They are usually more compact, lightweight, portable, less expensive, more reliable, and easier on the eyes. They are available in a wider range of screen sizes than CRT and plasma displays, and since they do not use phosphors, they cannot suffer image burn-in. LCDs are more energy efficient. Its low electrical power consumption enables it to be used in batterypowered electronic equipment. Clear & sharp image

Challenges
Some LCD panels have defective transistors, causing permanently lit or unlit pixels which are commonly referred to as stuck pixels or dead pixels respectively. That hampers color quality of picture. LCD panels are more likely to have defects than most ICs due to their larger size. For example, a 300 mm SVGA LCD has 8 defects and a 150 mm wafer has only 3 defects. LCD panels also have defects known as clouding (darkening) which describe the uneven patches of changes in luminance. It is most visible in dark or black areas of displayed scenes. Limited viewing angles. Uneven color and brightness of projected images

Conclusion
For Business Organization projectors are valuable tools to help
to grow your business. Projectors can be used in a wide range of applications, training new employees, to submit marketing proposals or reports year-end.

For this reason, buying a quality business projector makes good financial sense for companies of all sizes -. Large corporations to small home offices
