Abstract
A rear projection screen (1) comprising a lenticular structure (5) and a Fresnel structure (4). The Fresnel structure (4) has riser edges (9) and Fresnel facets (7). The Fresnel facets (7) are divided into two parts. The first part (11) encloses an angle .psi. with the plane of the projection screen. The second part (13) is substantially parallel to the plane of the screen. The Fresnel structure (4) and the lenticular structure (5) are fixed to each other at the second parts of the Fresnel structure.
Claims5
A rear-projection screen defining a plane, said screen comprising a first plate having a first side which has a lenticular structure and an opposed second side, and a second plate having a first side which has a Fresnel structure with a plurality of Fresnel facets, wherein the Fresnel facets each comprise a first part which encloses an angle .psi. with the plane of the screen, and a second, contiguous part which is substantially parallel to the plane of the screen, said second parts of the Fresnel lens being fixed to the second side of the first plate.
A projection system having a plurality of projection modules which can be stacked, comprising an illumination system, a modulation system, a projection lens system and an image projection screen defining a plane, wherein the image projection screen comprises
- a first plate having a first side which has a lenticular structure and an opposed second side,
- a second plate having a first side which has a Fresnel structure with a plurality of Fresnel facets, each Fresnel facet comprising a first part which encloses an angle with the plane of the screen and a second, contiguous part which is substantially parallel to the plane of the screen, said second parts being fixed to the second side of the first plate.
