  • Low energy source front projection screen for large screen pictorial displays
    Patent number: 6570706
    Abstract: A two element low energy source front projection screen for pictorially displaying upon a front face of the screen an image projected onto the front face from a projector comprised of a metallic support sheet having a front reflective surface and a sheet of lenticular lenses which overlays the front reflective surface of the support sheet. The lenticular lenses provide a focal point of reflective light on their surface in a narrow bright serpentine line separated from each other by dark regions. This optical arrangement is perceived by the eye as the brightness of the bright lines rather than the average brightness of the whole region.
