Data Projectors - Contrast Ratio

This is the difference between the blackest black and the whitest white a projector can produce. The LCD panel in a projector cannot completely block out all of the light when it is meant to be "black". A high contrast ratio is necessary to give clear images - especially when colour graphics or photographs are being projected. Note that DLP projectors produce better contrast ratios than LCD based ones.
