  • Patent number: 5751478
    Abstract: A rear-projection screen having at least a Fresnel lens and a light-diffusing member, and is characterized by having vertical-direction light diffusion properties greater at its upper and lower end portions than at its middle portion. For example, the light-diffusing member contains light-diffusing fine particles and has a vertical lenticular lens that diffuses light in the vertical direction, provided on the light-incident surface of the Fresnel lens. This decreases the rainbows caused by misdirected light and also improves the brightness at the border, without causing a lowering of peak gain.

  • Patent number: 5493136
    Abstract: This invention provides a high-speed FET with a sufficiently high output current, and an FET having a high mobility of channel electrons and a high electron saturation rate. For this purpose, in this invention, a buffer layer, a first channel layer, a first spacer layer, a second channel layer, a second spacer layer, a third channel layer, and a capping layer are sequentially epitaxially grown on a semi-insulating GaAs semiconductor substrate. Drain and source regions are formed, and a gate electrode is formed to Schottky-contact the capping layer. Drain and source electrodes are formed to ohmic-contact the drain and source regions. Extension of a surface depletion layer from the substrate surface to a deep portion is prevented by the third channel layer closest to the substrate surface. For this reason, a sufficient quantity of electrons for forming a current channel are assured by the second and first channel layers.

  • Patent number: 5457572
    Abstract: In a rear-projection screen comprising a Fresnel lens and a light-diffusing member containing light-diffusing fine particles, it is intended to decrease the moire and to give no dark feeling at the border even when projection systems are set in a short projection distance. For this end, in the rear-projection screen of the present invention, the thickness of the light-diffusing member is made larger at the border than at the center of the rear-projection screen, or the concentration of the light-diffusing fine particles contained in the light-diffusing member is made larger at the border than at the center so that the rear-projection screen can have light diffusion properties greater at its border than at its center. Here, any of a flat plate, a flat sheet and a lenticular lens sheet can be used as the light-diffusing member.

  • Patent number: 5432636
    Abstract: In a rear-projection screen comprising a Fresnel lens and a light-diffusing member such as a lenticular lens sheet, a rise angle in a central region of the Fresnel lens is smaller than a rise angle in an intermediate region thereof (e.g., the former is not larger than 3.degree. and the latter is larger than 3.degree. ). The rise angles may preferably gradually increase from the central region of the Fresnel lens toward the intermediate region thereof. The central region of the Fresnel lens may preferably be a region extending within the range of from 1/4 to 1/3 from the middle point of a diagonal of the rear-projection screen. Such a Fresnel lens is effective for improving white uniformity in the intermediate region of the rear-projection screen and eliminating color corn in the central region thereof.
