Edison did not invent the movie projector.
Charles Francis Jenkins and Thomas Armat have the patent for the original motion picture projector...The Phantoscope, initially designed by Jenkins alone.
The projector was sold to Edison whom re-named it the Vitascope and began using it to show motion pictures in a NYC theater in 1896. For marketing purposes, Edison put his name on it. But, he did not invent the projector.
There were various other devises and inventors that made pictures move in a more primitive fashion. Jenkins' Phantoscope, which used flim and electric light, is considered to be the one that ushered in the modern era of motion picture projection, with design and principles still used today.
