Projector (digital)

A projector that uses images in a digital format to magnify and project images onto a large screen, also sometimes called a data projector. 

A digital projector can be used for various applications like home theatre, business presentations, or cinema projections. These projectors utilize technology like Digital Light Processing (DLP) to create images, which uses millions of microscopic mirrors to create an image. These mirrors can be flipped on and off rapidly to control the light reflected, creating varying levels of brightness and colour.
