What are Projectors and How Do They Work?
Before getting started, it's important to understand what projectors are. Basically, a projector is a device that enlarges images or videos and displays them on a surface, such as a wall. The idea of turning your phone into a projector may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but it's actually based on simple optical principles, which can be replicated with everyday items.
When we talk about a "smart TV projector," we're referring to a device that connects to the internet and allows you to access various content. However, our goal here is to show you that, with a little ingenuity, you can simulate this functionality using your cellular and some simple materials.

The Magic of Optical Elements
One of the secrets to turning your cell phone into a projector lies in the use of lenses. The lens helps magnify the image on the cell phone screen, allowing it to be projected onto a distant surface. This technique, which is also used in some professional projector models, is easily adapted to our DIY project.
The idea is to use a lens (like a magnifying glass or an old-fashioned projector) to capture the light from the phone and redirect it. While the brightness and image quality may not compare to those of a state-of-the-art smart TV projector, this experience can be incredibly fun and educational. And, yes, even though it may have minor imperfections, the charm of DIY is evident.
