Abstract
Abstract A screen means free from ghost image comprising a screen and Fresnel lens arranged so that its Fresnel surface faces the screen. The Fresnel lens is arranged that optically inactive surfaces of its Fresnel surface become approximately parallel with the advancing direction of projected rays entered through and refracted by the back surface of the Fresnel lens.

A screen means, comprising: a screen; a Fresnel lens arranged so that its Fresnel surface faces said screen, said screen means being so arranged that projected rays pass through said Fresnel lens and form a projected image on said screen and that the optically inactive surfaces of the Fresnel surface of said Fresnel lens become approximately parallel with the advancing direction of projected rays after those projected rays are refracted by the back surface of said Fresnel lens; optically active surfaces of the Fresnel surface of said Fresnel lens being so arranged that rays internally reflected by the Fresnel surface of said Fresnel lens do not cause total reflection on the back surface of said Fresnel lens; another Fresnel lens being arranged adjacent to said Fresnel lens, with the Fresnel surface thereof facing the back surface of the first-mentioned Fresnel lens so that said projected rays also pass through said other Fresnel lens.
