May I ask when the projector was invented by whom?

Briefly introduce the history of the projector, some scholars have shown that the projector, animation, the development of film is inseparable. The earliest use of light and shadow technology began in the seventeenth century, a Jesuit priest named Athanasius Cosue invented the "magic slide", and later has become a toy, and its modern name is called the projector. In the beginning, this technology was used for entertainment, using the principle of light and shadow to tell stories on a screen, somewhat similar to the Tang Dynasty shadow puppet theater. It is also said that projection technology originated from the Chinese "horse lantern". But later, with the development of light and shadow technology, the projector is separated from the movie and animation.

The Laterna Magica (magic lantern) was the earliest projection device, and was the precursor to the modern slide projector and movie.

Kircher is generally credited with inventing the Laterna Magica, although it is impossible to prove who the original inventor was, and Huygens and Walgenstein are also credited with the invention of the Laterna Magica.

In 1640, a Jesuit priest named Athanase Kircher invented a slide projector called the magic lantern, which used a lens and mirror to reflect light in a series of pictures on a wall, and was a huge hit at the time, but Kircher was accused of sorcery. You see it's not easy to get people to accept every new invention and creation right away, but looking at the boom in cartoons today, the sacrifices of the ancients were worth it.

In 1989 Epson and Sony had the core technology of LCD panels, and in the same year, the world's first LCD projector was Epson's VPL-2000
