Rear-projection screen for use with a liquid crystal panel as a video source

A liquid crystal rear-projection TV comprising:

• a light source;
• a liquid crystal panel serving as a video source on which light is projected by said light source;
• an optical system for guiding video light obtained by passing the light from said light source through said liquid crystal panel;
• and
• a rear-projection screen for which a projection side is defined as a rear side, and an observation side is defined as a front side, said rear-projection screen including
• a first lenticular portion having a plurality of cylindrical lenses extending in a first direction and juxtaposed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
• a first substrate disposed on the front side of said first lenticular portion, said first substrate having a thickness of 0.5 to 3 mm, a total light transmittance Tt1 of 75 to 95%, a diffusion transmittance Dt1 of 40 to 70%, and a haze value H1 of 50 to 80;
• a Fresnel lens disposed on the front side of said first substrate;
• a second lenticular portion disposed on the front side of said Fresnel lens, said second lenticular portion having a plurality of cylindrical lenses extending in the second direction and juxtaposed in the first direction;
• a second substrate disposed on the front side of said second lenticular portion, said second substrate having a thickness of 0.05 to 0.3 mm;
• a light-shielding stripe layer disposed on the front side of said second substrate, said light-shielding stripe layer having a plurality of light-shielding bands extending in the second direction and juxtaposed in the first direction at an interval;
• and
• a third substrate disposed on the front side of said light-shielding stripe layer to come into contact with said light-shielding stripe layer, said third substrate having a thickness of 0.5 to 3 mm, wherein said second and third substrate, when combined, have a total light transmittance Tt2 of 75 to 95%, a diffusion transmittance Dt2 of 0 to 40%, and a haze value H2 of 0 to 50, to satisfy Tt1/Tt2=0.8 to 1.2, Dt1/Dt2 1, and H1/H2 1, wherein
• the video light is projected by said optical system onto said rear-projection screen.
