Abstract: A transmissive screen includes a first board member on a light source side, the first board member including a Fresnel lens on the surface of the light source side and one of a vertical lenticular lens or a horizontal lenticular lens on the surface of a viewer side; and a second board member on the viewer side, the second board member including the other of the vertical lenticular lens or the horizontal lenticular lens. The first board member includes a diffusing layer between the Fresnel lens and the lenticular lens on the surface of the viewer side at a position close to the Fresnel lens, wherein a relation represented by ??tan?1(fp/2L) is obtained, where ? is a diffusion angle at which a distribution characteristic of diffused light passing through the diffusing layer is half the peak gain, fp is a pitch of the Fresnel lens and L is a light path between the diffusing layer and the lenticular lens on the surface of the viewer side.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a rear projection display apparatus, including: an apparatus body; a transmission type screen disposed on the front face of the apparatus body; and an image projection apparatus disposed in the inside of the apparatus body and configured to project an image to the transmission type screen from the rear side of the transmission type screen. In the apparatus, the transmission type screen having a three-element configuration including a horizontal lenticular screen, a vertical lenticular screen and a Fresnel screen or a two-element configuration including a horizontal lenticular screen or a fly-eye screen and a Fresnel screen; the Fresnel screen including a substrate made of a glass material and one or a plurality of ones of a lens, an antiglare layer and an internal diffusion layer formed directly on the substrate but provided not by lamination.

Abstract: A rear projection display device includes: a housing; a transmission screen provided on the front surface of the housing; and a video projector installed in the housing configured to project a video image to the transmission screen from the rear side. The transmission screen includes a frame, a quadrilateral lens sheet mounted to the frame, a rod-shaped pressure member arranged along at least one of the two opposite sides of the lens sheet, and an elastic section configured to apply a pressure to the pressure member to press the pressure member on the sheet surface, providing a tension. The lens sheet includes a main sheet to which the video image is projected, and a subsheet continuously joined to an end portion of the main sheet, the subsheet having a flexural rigidity smaller than that of the main sheet, the pressure member being pressed on the sheet surface.

Abstract: In a transmission type screen structured to have at least two layers, namely, a first layer having a lenticular lens and having black stripes on the viewer's side relative to the lenticular lens and a second layer adjacent to the first layer, which are disposed sequentially as viewed from the viewer's side, the focal distance of the lenticular lens of the first layer is so set that external light having been skewly incident from the viewer's side and having passed through the gaps between the black stripes of the first layer is reflected on the lens surface of the lenticular lens of the first layer to impinge on the black stripes, whereby the “waviness” due to the light reflected by the second layer can be suppressed more effectively.

Abstract: A method is provided for reducing a residual spot on a cathode ray tube when a power supply is turned off. The method is executed by applying a holding voltage being no less than the value of the voltage enabling to enhance the back raster luminance and a cut-off voltage, or a voltage of a lower value, to a second grid electrode while the anode voltage is lowered to a predetermined voltage value when the main power supply is turned off.
