Abstract: A rear projection apparatus has a cabinet provided with a screen attaching portion, a rear projection screen attached to the screen attaching portion, an image projector for projecting an image onto the rear projecting screen from its back side, and a convex lens disposed at the back side of the rear projection screen, wherein the optical axis of the convex lens is shifted from its mechanical or dimensional center, and the convex lens is removably mounted to the rear projection screen so that the orientation of the lens relative to the screen can be altered whereby the light axis of the image from the rear projection screen is deflected to a predetermined direction by altering the orientation of the convex lens having the shifted optical axis in relation to the screen. The screen attaching portion of the cabinet permits altering the orientation of the lens and, thus, the direction in which the projected image is deflected, without increasing the size of the cabinet.

Abstract: An image display apparatus having a cathode ray tube with a deflection device, a projection screen and a projection lens projecting an image from the picture screen of the cathode ray tube onto the projection screen, is further provided with a deflection width control device which changes a dimension particularly the width of the cathode ray tube raster, in response to a change in the type of a television signal supplied to the tube.
