20230020294 · 2023-01-19 ·

The invention discloses a screen size adjustment method for LCD projectors, comprising a design of UI interface based on LCD display, a setting of zoom ratio threshold and a realization of UI zoom ratio function. The LCD projector screen size adjustment needs to be designed based on application scenarios and LCD display resolution (W.sub.Panel×H.sub.Panel) of the projector. A reasonable zoom ratio threshold is set based on the application scenario and product definition. After the zoom ratio threshold is determined, the system interface needs to be designed. When designing the system interface, the system interface resolution (W.sub.UI×H.sub.UI) should be determined according to the product of the screen resolution and the minimum value of the zoom ratio (Z.sub.min), and the number of width and height pixels used in the final design of the system interface should not be higher than the value calculated above.
