  • Publication number: 20180275480
    Abstract: An optical sheet, a screen, and a display apparatus capable of reducing speckles are provided. An optical sheet (50) includes a particle layer (55) including a transparent retaining part (56) having a predetermined thickness and a particle (60) that is accommodated in a cavity (56a) formed in the retaining part (56) and includes a first portion (61) and a second portion (62) having different dielectric constants. The first portion (61) includes a transparent first main portion (66a) and a first diffusion component (66b) that diffuses light. The second portion (62) includes a transparent second main portion (67a) and a second diffusion component (67b) that diffuses light. The first diffusion component (66b) and the second diffusion component (67b) have a diameter d satisfying the following conditional expression (1): 0.1 ?m?d?15 ?m (1).

  • Publication number: 20180120688
    Abstract: There is provided a screen capable of sufficiently reducing speckles. A screen for displaying an image by being irradiated with a light beam from a projector, is provided with a plurality of particles each including a first part and a second part different in dielectric constant, a particle layer having the plurality of particles, and electrodes which form an electric field for driving the particles of the particle layer by applying a voltage to the particle layer.
