Projected image over physical screen?

In summary, there are already mini-sized projectors that can be carried in your pocket and project a large, clear image. Examples include the Optoma Pico and Samsung's phone with a built-in projector. Other companies are also working on similar devices.

Do you think it would be possible for a ipod sized device or small notebook to project an image rather then have an actual screen?

So you could carry it in your pocket & when turned on the desplay could be massive like 50inches. Something holographic or what youd expect in the movies.

Would be so great if the image was just as clear as LCD.

1. What is a projected image?

A projected image refers to an image that is produced by shining light through a transparent or translucent surface, such as a film or a digital display, onto a physical screen or surface. This creates a larger and more visible image that can be viewed by a larger audience.

2. How does a projected image work?

A projected image works by using a light source, such as a projector, to shine light through a transparent or translucent surface that contains the image, onto a physical screen or surface. The light is then reflected off the screen, creating a larger and more visible image for viewers to see.

3. What is a physical screen?

A physical screen is a surface, often made of fabric or a special material, that is used to display a projected image. It can come in various sizes and shapes, and is typically used for presentations and entertainment purposes.

4. What are the benefits of using a projected image over a physical screen?

Using a projected image over a physical screen allows for a larger and more visible display, making it ideal for presentations and entertainment purposes. It also allows for more flexibility in terms of screen size and shape, as well as the ability to easily change the displayed image.

5. Are there any limitations to using a projected image over a physical screen?

One limitation of using a projected image over a physical screen is that it requires a dark or dimly lit environment for the image to be visible. Additionally, the quality of the projected image may be affected by external factors such as ambient light or the distance between the projector and the screen.
