I didn't know it was possible to project "darkness" ...

The darkest possible image from a projector is the darkness of the screen it is being projected on. A lighted room means that the darkest possible image is that white wall.]]>May 23rd 2007 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/May 23rd 2007 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/May 23rd 2007 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/May 25th 2007 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/May 23rd 2007 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/
Do you honestly think it's possible to project darkness?]]>May 23rd 2007 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/May 24th 2007 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/May 23rd 2007 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/May 23rd 2007 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/]]>May 24th 2007 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/May 24th 2007 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/
It's very simple. When you project an image you're shining a light at something through some medium (LCD, film, shadow puppets...) which selectively blocks and allows through the light. The darkest your projected image can ever be corresponds to letting through no light at all. If you shine "no light at all" at a wall, it stays whatever brightness/colour it was in the first place. Try it and see- get a wall, and shine nothing on it. Therefore, as was correctly pointed out, the darkest a projected image can ever be is the darkness of the screen its projected on. Unless you've invented a "beam of dark", in which Dr Evil might be interested. ]]>May 24th 2007 4:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/23/explay-intros-oio-nanoprojector-plans-to-launch-in-2008/ Explay intros oio nanoprojector
