what, exactly, is a rear projection lcd? i don't get it. lcd screens don't use "projection" right?

can someone explain?

Actually, there is a small projector inside.
Rear projection LCD (or DLP, LCOS) means the TV uses an LCD technology engine (DLP, LCOS) to project the picture on a semi opaque screen panel where we see it.
First, the picture inside the TV box projects on a special mirror ('first surface mirror') and then it reflects on the screen.
This mirror, unlike regular mirrors, has a reflecting layer over the glass to prevent glass distortion.
