A video projector includes a video cassette recorder (VCR), a light source for generating light for displaying image on a screen, a reflector for reflecting the light from the light source to generate a reflected light and for scattering the light from the light source to generate a dispersed light, an LCD display panel for receiving the reflected light and generating an image light to a screen through a first window, and a second window being selectively opened and closed for outputting the dispersed light from the reflector as an illumination source, wherein the first window is disposed on the same side of the video projector as the VCR operational panel of the VCR.
