User-interface for a projection device

1. A projector assembly comprising:

a projection device adapted to project an image; and

a user-interface in communication with the projection device, wherein the user-interface is adapted to privately present user-readable information to a user;

wherein the user-readable information privately presented via the user-interface is different than the image projected by the projection device.

2. The projector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the user-interface is disposed on a body of the projection device.

3. The projector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the user-interface comprises a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).

4. The projector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the user-interface is adapted to display information regarding operation of the projection device.

5. The projector assembly of claim 1 , wherein the user-readable information is projection device status information.

6. A projector assembly comprising:

a projection device having a body, the projection device adapted to project an image; and

a user-interface disposed on the body of the projection device, the user-interface being adapted to display user-readable information regarding operation of the projection device;

wherein the user-readable information displayed on the user-interface is different than the image projected by the projection device.

7. The projector assembly of claim 6 , further comprising a controller adapted to allow a user to manage the information displayed on the user-interface.

8. The projector assembly of claim 7 , wherein the controller is disposed on the body of the projection device.

9. The projector assembly of claim 6 , wherein the information includes information that is related to the set-up of the projector device.

10. The projector assembly of claim 6 , wherein the information includes information that is related to trouble-shooting the projection device.

11. The projector assembly of claim 6 , wherein the user-interface is privately viewable by a user of the projection device.

12. The projector assembly of claim 6 , wherein the information includes a navigable menu.

13. The projector assembly of claim 6 , wherein the user-interface is a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).

14. The projector assembly of claim 6 , wherein the user-interface is a graphics display.

15. The projector assembly of claim 6 , wherein the user-interface is adapted to display text.

16. The projector assembly of claim 6 , wherein the user-interface is a pixelated display.

17. A method for providing access to information regarding operation of a projection device, the method comprising:

displaying status information on a user interface, wherein the user interface is disposed on the body of a projection device, wherein the user interface displays the status information as a first image, while the projection device concurrently projects a second image; and

providing a controller adapted to allow a user to manage the displayed information.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the controller is further adapted to allow a user to alter at least some settings on the projection device.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the step of displaying status information on a user interface is independent of display of a projected image.
