Abstract
Abstract A permeable screen possesses superior brightness, high contrast, wide view angle, excellent contrast to external light, superior clearness, and less reflection of external light image. The permeable screen includes a front dispersing panel and a lenticular lens sheet disposed at the incident side of the front dispersing panel and forming plural lens surfaces. The permeable screen also includes a Fresnel lens sheet disposed at the incident side of the lenticular lens sheet and forming plural lens surfaces. The front dispersing panel functions as a screen and also provides mechanical strength. The front dispersing panel also possesses parts for mounting and fixing the lenticular lens sheet and Fresnel lens sheet.
