As you can see, all of my projects use this special white paper. I got it from the paper between X-ray films. You probably have never seen or heard of it but you could use cardstock glued together instead of it. Anyways, back to the Instructable.
I saw some of the projectors here for the old ipods and other video players. I thought to try it myself with the supplies I have. The other ones didn't work for the iPod touch, I have the retina display version. The retina display is 2 the resolution than the previous iPod Touches. It would make a great projector for the high quality screen. I made this with thick paper(as talked about above), a small mirror(from some old kit I had, and a magnifying glass. unfortunatly they both are scratched and the image quality isn't the best, but it works. I can project it with no distortion at about 4 feet away with an image size of about 2 feet wide. Unfortuantly My camera broke, so I cant show it working, i have to use the crummy iPod touch camera.
This is not a step by step instructable, but if someone comments for it, i will try to show how to make it in an Instructable.
Sorry for no notes in the images, there might be a bug where i cant save it.

em making a projector for my mobile phone (E52)
i have the mirror,the box and the lens but the only thing that i need to know is what is the right space between the lens and the mirror ? and what's the right degree of the mirror ? i read that it must be 45* to reflect light from the screen to the lens
however em waiting for comments,plz tell me when u see this com plz :)
oh,as for the paper that u use i know what it is, x-rays uses big black special paper
to print x-rays,and they put thick papae between every x-ray film and the other so when u grape one u won't leave finger prints or else xD that's all i know (might be right ot wrong)
And yep, that is the kind of paper, I know someone that works as an X-Ray Technician and instead of them throwing it out I reuse it for something useful!
one more thing, can u give me the measures u used for your projector ? so i can make a better projector than the one that i madew and threw in the garbage ?
i tried it and i got good quality but a small screen so however i'm making a new one out of a tissue box and it's very good tell now :) thx :)
Well good luck!
I will try to make a step by step ible soon, though it will be hard to do it because I only have after it's done steps
