convert a 40 years old dia slide projector to a decent diy projector! - slide projector
This is a hacker made in the hacker space in Cairo.
We need a projector in hacker space for Internet of Things build nights and other workshops, classes, and Friday night of hacker movies.
The problem is that we can't afford to buy a real projector, so we did our last "Hacker Scout campaign" at the second-hand Friday market in Egypt, and we found a DIA projector 40 years ago, it was made in western Germany! ! ! .
We bought it for 100 Egyptian pounds = $14.
Here is the list of parts I use in this hack: * any DIA projector should work.
* Any cracked display should work.
* Any device that can display data on the screen you use can work properly.
This step is not difficult, but be careful that it has a tricky part.
Technical Description: all LCD/TFT displays are actually transparent! !
Yes, your phone, laptop, TV screen is just a clear glass and the data is displayed inside.
What makes the screen opaque when you look, because it has some sort of shell made up of multiple parts
Install a layer of plastic lens and metal cover on the back of each LCD screen of any device.
The lens on the back of the screen reflects and concentrates the white LED light from the bottom of the screen to the entire surface of the screen, which makes the data displayed on the LCD visible and readable to the human eye.
Note: Be very careful and gentle when using a brown flexible connector. (
Do not make any adjustments)
Be very careful about the screen itself, and be careful about the pressure of your hands when hacking.
After opening the metal back cover, most things will start falling by themselves and don't force anything.
Step: This monitor I am using has an NTSC/pal TV drive that can be connected to the TV video output connector "yellow connector.
I used the composite video cable used with the Nokia N900 smartphone and Raspberry pi.
Connect the black and reading wires to 12VDC and ground through the adapter.
When the display lights up and starts to display normally, make sure it is transparent and all the useless things will fall off at the back.
I was lucky because the projector halogen light was working and very bright.
Prepare the area where the screen will enter and make sure there is a space for the screen, cable and drive board.
It's easy to know the best place to place the screen, just put it in the same place as the old slide input.
First, enter the screen carefully in the slide hole.
Next connect the yellow video connector and then power on.
After completing all the above steps, turn on the power and you should see the screen LED lens on and you will see the data on the screen.
Make sure the screen is not flipped vertically or horizontally.
Adjust the brightness of the LCD and the brightness of the projector lamp.
Adjust the projector lens focus for the best results.
Resize the screen from the device.
Note: all these photos were taken with room lights on.
In today's connected world, digital communication is no longer limited to indoor environments. From retail storefronts and transportation hubs to smart cities and hospitality venues, businesses are increasingly relying on outdoor digital displays to engage audiences, deliver real-time information, and strengthen brand visibility.
However, outdoor environments present unique challenges that conventional displays simply cannot withstand. Rain, dust, humidity, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight can significantly reduce performance and lifespan.
This is where IP66-rated outdoor digital displays make the difference.
Education has undergone a significant transformation over the last decade. Traditional teaching methods that relied solely on blackboards, projectors, and paper materials are rapidly being replaced by interactive, technology-driven learning environments.
Schools, universities, training centers, and educational institutions worldwide are investing in smart classroom solutions that improve engagement, collaboration, and learning outcomes. Among these innovations, the Digital Podium has emerged as one of the most important pieces of classroom technology.
A Digital Podium is no longer simply a lectern for holding notes. It has evolved into a powerful teaching workstation that integrates computing, touch interaction, multimedia control, device management, and classroom collaboration into a single platform.
As hybrid learning, distance education, and smart campus initiatives continue to expand, digital podiums are becoming an essential component of modern educational infrastructure.
In today’s fast-moving business environment, traditional posters and static displays are no longer enough to capture customer attention. Businesses are increasingly turning to indoor digital signage displays to improve communication, promote products, and create more engaging customer experiences.
From retail stores and shopping malls to corporate offices, restaurants, schools, hotels, and healthcare facilities, indoor digital signage has become an essential solution for delivering dynamic content in real time.
At ITATOUCH, we provide high-brightness indoor digital signage displays with customizable hardware and software options, helping partners and businesses create tailored digital communication solutions.
Introduction: Why Traditional Interactive Displays Are No Longer Enough
As smart classrooms and hybrid workplaces continue to evolve, many organizations are facing a common challenge: traditional interactive displays can no longer meet the growing demand for visual clarity, intelligent collaboration, and long-term performance.
In education, teachers need smoother writing experiences, better visibility in bright classrooms, and seamless hybrid teaching tools. In corporate environments, businesses require professional video conferencing, high-quality presentations, and reliable systems for efficient collaboration.
This is where the next generation of premium QLED interactive flat panels makes a significant difference.
With innovations such as QLED Local Dimming technology, 4K UHD display, AI camera systems, optical bonding, and flagship-level processing power, modern interactive flat panels are becoming more than just displays—they are transforming into complete smart collaboration hubs.
In today’s competitive retail environment, attracting customers starts before they even enter your store. A high brightness window display is one of the most effective tools for increasing foot traffic, promoting products, and enhancing brand visibility in shopping malls, retail stores, restaurants, beauty salons, banks, and commercial spaces.
Unlike standard screens that appear dim under strong ambient light, ultra high brightness window displays are specifically designed for storefront applications, delivering vivid visuals and clear advertising content even in direct sunlight.
