We’ve shared many home made projectors in the past, but we think this might just be the first home made 3D projector!

The beauty with a system like this is you can get high definition out of a relatively small and cheap LCD panel! The only thing is it won’t last forever - LCDs (especially monitor LCDs) aren’t designed to pass through that much light.ĭon’t believe us?

One of the older technologies is LCD, which is even easier to understand. It works by bouncing red, green, and blue light off of three DMD’s (Digital Micromirror Devices) which have an array of tiny 2-position mirrors, with each representing a pixel. The best, and brightest is DLP (Digital Light Processing) by Texas Instruments - which is pretty well the world-wide standard for high-end, high-lumen digital projection.
But did you know it’s not that hard to convert an old slide projector to digital? shows us how with a 1950’s LaBelle 75 slide projector, and the result is pretty awesome.ĭigital projectors can use a few different technologies to work.
