摘要:
The invention concerns a rear projection screen, comprising a support (22) with focusing elements such as microlenses (26) or lenticular elements, a holographic diffuser, and an opaque layer (36) with apertures (38) for allowing through the light focused by the microlenses. The light projected from the rear of the screen is concentrated by the microlenses (26) and passes through the opaque layer by the apertures (38). The holographic diffuser controls the directivity of the light. The incident light on the screen is absorbed by the opaque layer, such that the layer provides good transmittivity, high contrast, and controlled directivity owing to the holographic diffuser. The invention also concerns a method for making such a rear projection screen whereby the apertures in the opaque layer are formed by irradiating said layer or a preparatory material through the microlenses.

A resin erecting lens array is fabricated by forming a coating of silicon dioxide compound on the surface of each of molded resin lens plates, forming an aperture stop for each micro-lens on the surface of each resin lens plate, applying an adhesive on end portions of each resin lens plate, spreading out the adhesive into the space between the resin lens plates being placed on top of one another, aligning an optical axis of each micro-lens on the resin lens plates, inserting heat-melting resin pins into the pin-insert holes of the resin lens plate, and melting at least one end of each resin pin to secure the resin lens plates together.

Color lights from image projecting sections (207) that enlarge and project images of red, green and blue, respectively, are made incident on a transparent screen at different angles of incidence, so that image synthesis is carried out. The color lights projected are converted into telecentric light by a Fresnel lens (211), and after principal rays of the respective color lights are converted into substantially parallel rays by a color shading eliminating means (219) provided with lenticular lenses on both sides thereof, the rays are incident on a light diffusing means (224). The light diffusing means (224) is formed with a transparent substrate sheet and a plurality of transparent micro beads made to adhere onto a light-incident surface of the substrate sheet with an opaque adhesive. Image light passes through light transmitting portions between the substrate sheet and the micro beads to be diffused. This configuration enables to provide a rear-projection image display whose display images are hardly affected by external light, which has an increased angle of visibility, and which undergoes less color shading, without a decrease in light utilization efficiency.

A rear-projection screen 3, including at least a lenticular lens sheet 32 and a Fresnel lens sheet 31, is configured so that the lenticular lens sheet 32 contains, in a base material thereof made of a resin, light diffusing microparticles made of a resin having a refractive index different from a refractive index of the base material, and the light diffusing microparticles satisfy 0.5 &mgr;m≦&Dgr;N1×d1≦0.9 &mgr;m, where &Dgr;N1 represents a difference between a refractive index of the light diffusing microparticles and a refractive index of the base material of the lenticular lens sheet, and d1 represents an average particle diameter of the light diffusing microparticles. With this, a rear-projection screen with small wavelength dependency of diffusion characteristics can be provided utilizing only resins with general properties.

A screen of a projection television may include a Fresnel lens for converting an incident light beam emitted from an image source into a parallel beam, a lenticular lens formed by sequentially arranging multiple lens elements having a column shape parallel to one another for forming an image from the parallel beam output from the Fresnel lens and spreading the formed image, and a protective panel installed on the front surface of the lenticular lens for protecting the lenticular lens. The Fresnel lens may include a base substrate and a lens unit contacting one side of the base substrate, patterns having a saw-toothed shape formed on a surface of the lens unit facing a lenticular lens, and portions of each pattern corresponding to a sharp portion of a sawtooth may be a processed curved surface having a predetermined curvature.

Provided is a Fresnel lens sheet having the advantage of reducing unnecessary rays of light that may go out around the center area of the concentrically-configured Fresnel lens of the sheet. When it is combined with a lenticular lens sheet to construct a viewing screen, the screen has the advantage of preventing white spots from appearing around its center area. The Fresnel lens sheet is for screens for rear projection image displays, and is characterized in that the lens pitch in the center area of the concentrically-configured Fresnel lens of the sheet differs from that in the peripheral area thereof, and that the lens pitch in the center area is larger than that in the peripheral area.

A screen assembly that combines an angle re-distributing prescreen with a conventional diffusion screen is disclosed. The prescreen minimizes or eliminates the sensitivity of the screen assembly to projector location. The diffusion screen provides other desirable screen characteristics. The prescreen is preferably formed by a collection of light transmitting and refracting elements, preferably spheres 80, partially embedded in a light blocking layer. Toward the back of the spheres 80 are effective apertures 82 where the light blocking layer 81 is absent or at least thinner than in other regions toward the side of the spheres. The projected image enters spheres 80 through the effective apertures 82, and exits the spheres 80 centered orientationally about the normal to the lens axis. The re-oriented light rays then enter the diffusion screen for viewing.

A rear projection display apparatus is provided with a screen unit. The screen unit includes a Fresnel lens sheet for gathering incident image light, a lenticular lens sheet for causing the image light gathered by the Fresnel lens sheet to be incident thereon and to be diffused, and having an external-light absorbing layer on the emergent side thereof, and a light diffusing structure for diffusing the image light incident on the lenticular lens sheet. The haze of the light diffusing structure is set at a predetermined value, and the covering ratio per unit area of the external-light absorbing layer is set according to the diffusion property represented by the haze so that it is smaller than the case in which no light diffusing structure is employed.

In a screen for a rear image projection system, a Fresnel lens sheet, a lenticular lens array sheet whose longitudinal direction is arranged in the vertical direction, and a light diffusion sheet are provided in that order from the projection side. The light diffusion sheet has louver-shaped light absorption wall columns whose longitudinal direction is arranged in the horizontal direction and a light diffusion layer. The light diffusion layer is located on the observation side of the light absorption wall columns. Projected light is properly dispersed and exits without causing the absorption loss due to the light absorption wall columns. Outside light entering from the observation side is diffused in the light diffusion layer and absorbed by the light absorption wall columns. Also, the total reflection component on the lenticular lens surface is absorbed by the light absorption wall columns. 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.

An optical sheet to be used as a screen on which an image is projected from an image projector is provided. The optical sheet is produced by joining a plurality of optical sheet members with end surfaces thereof meeting each other as joint surfaces. The optical sheet members are realized with lenticular lens sheets. Each lenticular lens sheet has lenses, which are elongated in a second direction, juxtaposed in a first direction orthogonal to the second direction. The optical properties of the optical sheet members that are slightly undulated vary cyclically in the first direction. And the optical sheet members to be joined are a selected pair of optical sheet members whose undulations are substantially identical to each other or symmetrical to each other with respect to the joint surfaces.
