Screen, rear projector, and image display device that are capable of effectively reducing scintillation
View Patent ↗A screen includes a screen main body that has a diffusion layer, a frame that is provided along the circumference of the screen main body, and to which the diffusion layer is attached through supporting members to rock, and a driving unit that is mounted on the diffusion layer and moves the diffusion layer in parallel to a surface of the diffusion layer.
1. A screen comprising:
a screen main body that has a plurality of diffusion layers, the plurality of diffusion layers being disposed on an optical path axis of light that is projected onto the plurality of diffusion layers;
a frame that is provided along a circumference of the screen main body, at least two diffusion layers of the plurality of diffusion layers being attached to the frame through supporting members to rock; and
a plurality of driving units, each driving unit is individually mounted on a respective one of the diffusion layers attached to the frame through the supporting members, the plurality of driving units being configured to move the diffusion layers in parallel to a surface of the diffusion layers.
2. The screen according to claim 1 ,
wherein the supporting members are elastic members.
3. The screen according to claim 1 ,
wherein each driving unit rotates around a rotation shaft that extends to be substantially vertical to the surface of the diffusion layers, and
each driving unit is mounted on at least one location of the diffusion layers.
4. The screen according to claim 1 ,
wherein the diffusion layers of the screen main body have a rectangular shape, and
on at least one of sides of the diffusion layers, a guide unit is provided to slidably move the diffusion layers in a direction along the side.
5. The screen according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least portions of neighboring diffusion layers come into contact with each other.
6. The screen according to claim 1 ,
wherein the supporting members have a different resonance frequency.
7. The screen according to claim 1 ,
wherein a resonance frequency of the supporting members and a driving frequency of the driving units are substantially equal to each other.
8. A rear projector comprising:
a light source that emits light;
a light modulating element that modulates the light emitted from the light source; and
the screen according to claim 1 onto which the light modulated by the light modulating element is projected.
9. An image display device comprising:
a light source that emits light;
the screen according to claim 1 ; and
a scanning unit that scans the light emitted from the light source on the screen.
