An overhead projector is used to project an image of a transparency onto a wall or screen by means of an overhead mirror.
There are also "slide projectors" that are used to display photographic slides on a wall or screen.
A "projector" or "digital projector" would be used similar to a computer monitor or a television screen that would display an inputted image from a variety of sources (blu-ray player, computer, laptop, dvd players, game console, etc.). In the case of a projector the image is projected with the help of a light apparatus shining through a small silicon ship and projected through a lens to create an image on your wall or projector screen.
The projector can reach a pretty high temperature if left on for a while. So I think the main danger of an overhead projector is simply the heat. ;)
Overhead projector replacement bulbs will definitely be sold somewhere on eBay or alternatively you could ask the local secondary school or college for help.
A Data Projector (referred to as Digital Projector) is a projector that gets its image from a Digital Source, such as VGA (computer), RCA (the most common A/V input), S-Video (another form of video input), and some others. These projectors are most commonly used along with DLP or LCD Technology.An Overhead Projector is an older style of projection, common in Education (Schools). These projectors are totally manual and require you to put a transparent image onto glass to project the image overhead.
One can buy a used overhead projector from eBay where there are many listed for sales in various conditions. They can also be purchased second hand from Amazon Marketplace.
An LCD projector projects video images by shining a light through LCD panels. An overhead projector is for projecting slides and still images printed on transparent plastic sheets placed on a glass surface.
The overhead projector was invented in the 1960's.
The projector can reach a pretty high temperature if left on for a while. So I think the main danger of an overhead projector is simply the heat. ;)
My guess is that with LCD and DLP projector coming down in price, we will be seeing less and less of the overhead. When a video projector is used with an interactive whiteboard or tablet the possibilities are limitless.

You don't need a slide projector or an overhead projector.
This is referred to as an opaque overhead projector, or sometimes simply as an "opaque projector." This is in contrast to the regular overhead projector which must have transparencies to project, an opaque projector can project an image of opaque objects such as the paper pages of a book.
The only real similarity that I can think of is they both project images onto a wall or projector screen.

One answer is when an overhead/movie/computer projector does not fit the projector screen area correctly and lines can be seen around the intended area.
Due to the bright bulb, the 3M 2000 overhead projector can use a substantial amount of power and is not, unfortunately, Energy Star rated.
