LCD Projectors

‰

LCD projectors appeared during the early 1990s, and are 
now the main type of projector.

‰

Three LCDs receive electrical signals from an image-
generating device. One receives signals for the red part of 
the image, one the green, and one the blue. In this way, 
each LCD holds a pattern of pixels. 

‰

Then, red light is shone through the LCD with the red part 
of the image, and green and blue light are used for the 
other two LCDs. 

‰

After passing through the LCD filters, the three beams are 
combined and projected.

‰

LCD projectors give bright, high-resolution output, and 
they are easy to adjust. They are also cheap.
