  • Visually seamless projection screen and methods of making same
    Patent number: 6128130
    Abstract: A projection screen is formed from a plurality of translucent fabric panels joined along overlapping peripheral edge portions to produce a reflective, curved front screen surface. Overlapping peripheral edge portions extend outwardly from the back surface of the screen and are configured to be substantially less reflective than the front or projection surface of the screen. Accordingly, the visibility of seams between adjacent fabric panels to a viewer viewing images projected onto the screen is diminished.
