projector

Throws light forward

A projector is a device that casts an image onto a surface, typically a screen or wall.

Film projectors shine light through transparent frames; digital projectors process video signals.

The word extends to anyone who projects—plans or schemes: a projector of grand designs.

In psychology, a projector is someone who attributes their own feelings to others.
