In many cases a white sheet can be used as a screen. However, you may lose some of the crispness or detail of whatever you're attempting to project.

Why is my projector only showing a white light?

There could be a number of reasons why your projector is only displaying a white light. It could be due to a loose or faulty connection, a problem with the projector's bulb or color wheel, or an issue with the input source. Try checking the connections, replacing the bulb, or troubleshooting the input source to see if that resolves the issue.


How does a light bulb in a projector make all the colors?

The colors are not created by the bulb. Instead, some form of filter (film, slides, transparent writing surfaces, etc) is placed between the bulb and the screen (or whatever surface onto which the light is being projected). The filter blocks certain portions of light from passing through, and allows others. The result is that a lighted version of the filter's coloration pattern (picture, writing, etc) is visible on the screen or surface.

The white screen will appear yellow because when red light and green light shine on a white surface, they combine to create yellow light. This is because red and green are complementary colors that combine to create yellow.


What color will be formed on the screen when white light is passed?

White light is passed through a prism, it will be separated into the various colors of the visible spectrum, creating a rainbow effect on the screen.

Has anyone used a projector. i was just wondering if a projector can project my PC onto a wall instead of using my monitor?

Yes you can use a projector to display your computers output onto a projector, white wall/sheet. Keep in mind that a screen is designed to reflect much more light and color than you average white wall so the picture might not be as crisp as you want. Also keep in mind that the projector will have to have the correct input to match your computer output (VGA, HDMI, etc) or you have to have converters that will fit the inputs. Its a great way to play games, watch movies, office work, edit photos/videos, etc. You can find cheap projectors easy on eBay. Good luck Have Fun.

A torch, some clingfilm and a piece of cardboard - something like a white or pale-coloured wall, a fridge or a white sheet can be used as a screen. Someone with a bit more time might bother to create a focus using a pair of glasses or a magnifying glass, and could build a simple structure to hold the whole lot in place.


What is a video projector used fo?

Let's say that you want to have a really large-screen TV but can't afford one, or don't have the space for one. You can use a video projector to create a large TV image on any blank wall. You might need to make the room a little darker, because the projector will have a dimmer image than a backlit TV screen.
