Rear projection screen

Abstract

Abstract In a screen for a rear image projection system, a Fresnel lens sheet (4), a lenticular lens array sheet (5) whose longitudinal direction is arranged in the vertical direction, and a light diffusion sheet (7) are provided in that order from the projection side. The light diffusion sheet (7) has louver-shaped light absorption wall columns (8) whose longitudinal direction is arranged in the horizontal direction and a light diffusion layer (9). The light diffusion layer (9) is located on the observation side of the light absorption wall columns (8). Projected light is properly dispersed and exits without causing the absorption loss due to the light absorption wall columns (8). Outside light entering from the observation side is diffused in the light diffusion layer (9) and absorbed by the light absorption wall columns (8). Also, the total reflection component on the lenticular lens surface is absorbed by the light absorption wall columns (8). As a result, the decrease of contrast caused by the diffuse reflection can be reduced greatly. Therefore, a rear projection screen and a rear projector that have a great effect of reducing the reflection of the outside light with a small loss of the transmitted light can be obtained.
