Abstract:
1. A projector for projecting a series of images sequentially on a screen or surface, comprising: a housing, an array of light sources arranged generally in a common plane in the housing, a sheet with an array of projectable transparency images supported in the housing, positioned in a plane essentially parallel to said common plane, spaced from the array of light sources and positioned in registry with the light sources such that each transparency image can receive light from a respective one of the light sources to pass through the transparency image and to project the image outwardly toward a projector screen or surface, projection optics in the housing for focusing and converging light passing through each transparency image onto a projector screen or surface such that a succession of projected images from the array of images overlie one another essentially in registry, and electronics connected to the light sources for sequentially energizing the light sources to sequentially project the images onto a screen, whereby a slide show or an animated sequence can be projected onto a screen or surface using the projector.
