  • Curved projection screen
    Patent number: 9733560
    Abstract: A curved projection screen having a one-piece seamless substrate having a three-dimensional curvature. The screen is arranged for being bent to a certain degree around one of its axes so that the smallest deformation of the screen is elastic, where the edge of the screen has been shaped so that its deformation during the above mentioned degree of bending is also elastic.
    Type: Grant

  • Bundled light based alignment and maintenance tool for projection systems
    Patent number: 7090361
    Abstract: The present invention relates to projection systems, more particularly to a method for visualising test pattern grids in such a projection system. An array of adjustable, directed light sources is described, which is to be used as a test pattern generator for alignment of at least one projector. Each light source is fixed onto a surface from which it is movable with two degrees of freedom, preferably by putting the surface in plastic deformation. This can preferably be done with help of few tooling aids, and by using one hand only.
