How it's used
While this term refers to traditional physical slides for optical projectors, it is now frequently used to describe digital presentation slides in professional settings. In modern office environments, people often use the English loanword PPT to refer to the digital file itself, but 幻燈片 remains the standard term for the individual slides within that presentation.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the general term for a presentation file, which is often called 簡報 or simply PPT. Using 幻燈片 to refer to the entire presentation software or file can sound slightly dated or overly literal.
