I got my parts from old OHP bought at HMR. Bulb imported from Germany. Optics for R&D from China, ballast, cap,ignitor at Fumaco store, and LCD imported from taiwan. I have some spare parts. You can check out my website.

Found this article about how to get an evenly/uniformly disperse rectangular shape light beam.

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1157682,00.asp

I just don't know if this article has been posted before.

"Another optical task is to concentrate and steer the light from the reflector to the imaging engine. This is also an opportunity to mix the light so that it strikes the imaging engine more uniformly. The light from most lamps will be brighter in the center, gradually diminishing as you move farther from the center. On a rectangular screen, the differences can be noticeable by the time the image gets to the corners. One way to resolve this problem is to use a series of microlenses to integrate the light from the lamp and create a rectangular beam. Another interesting solution is to focus the beam from the lamp on the end of a rectangular rod. This rod may be constructed of polished glass or quartz, or its internal surfaces may be surrounded by highly-reflective mirrors. The light rays bounce multiple times within this light pipe, and emerge from the end as a uniform light beam with a rectangular shape. "

This solves wasted light with circular beam pattern that diyers use.

resolution, resolution, resolution....

8 Inches
.....
Spot distance: 0.297(horizontal) x 0.297(vertical)mm

FYI, 15" has 0.297x0.297 pixle size. so this one has much lower resolution. it turns out to be a .... VGA!!!

Surprising? wasn't it stated as pixle: Maximum 1024 x 768 ? tricky part is "maximum". It means nothing more than that this monitor CAN take XGA signal. It doesn't mean it can DISPLAY that many pixels. The person who canceled his auction did a right thing. because more cautious way is "maximum resolution". "pixel maximum " might get him into trouble, because people tends to believe it has that many pixels.

But, keep looking, a cheap, small size, XGA is the holy grail of compact DIY projector.
