Abstract

A screen includes; a plurality of layers including a diffusion layer that diffuses incident light; an elastic member that movably supports the diffusion layer with respect to an arbitrary holding part; and a driving unit that moves the diffusion layer in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of light that is incident to the diffusion layer.

Claims (42)

1. A screen comprising:

a diffusion layer that diffuses incident light;

an elastic member that movably supports the diffusion layer with respect to a holding part;

a driving unit that moves the diffusion layer in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of light that is incident to the diffusion layer; and

a plurality of the elastic member, one of which being arranged between a bottom side face of the diffusion layer and the inner face of the holding part, another one of which being arranged between a right side face of the diffusion layer and the inner face of the holding part, and another one of which being arranged between a left side face of the diffusion layer and the inner face of the holding part,

wherein

the diffusion layer is rectangular and is made from plastic material;

the elastic member is arranged in a plane of the diffusion layer and at least between a top side face of the diffusion layer and an inner face of the holding part; and

the driving unit is arranged in a bottom side face of the diffusion layer.

2. The screen according to claim 1 , wherein:

at least one of the incidence face and the emission face of the diffusion layer is processed with antistatic treatment.

3. The screen according to claim 1 , wherein:

an antistatic processing agent is mixed in the diffusion layer.

4. The screen according to claim 1 , wherein:

an antistatic processing agent is applied on the diffusion layer.

5. The screen according to claim 1 , wherein:

the plurality of elastic members are each arranged near the centers of the respective faces of the diffusion layer.

6. A screen comprising:

a plurality of layers, wherein

at least one layer among the plurality of layers is the diffusion layer according to claim 1 ; and

at least one layer among the other plurality of layers is made from plastic material.

7. The screen according to claim 1 , wherein

the elastic member is arranged in at least between a central portion of each side face of the diffusion layer and a respective inner face of the holding part.

8. A screen comprising:

a diffusion layer that diffuses incident light;

an elastic member that movably supports the diffusion layer with respect to a holding part; and

a driving unit that moves the diffusion layer in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of light that is incident to the diffusion layer,

wherein

the diffusion layer is rectangular and is made from plastic material;

the elastic member is arranged in a plane of the diffusion layer and at least between a top side face of the diffusion layer and an inner face of the holding part;

the driving unit is arranged in a bottom side face of the diffusion layer; and

the elastic member is provided to at least one pair of opposing corners.

9. The screen according to claim 8 , wherein:

at least one of the incidence face and the emission face of the diffusion layer is processed with antistatic treatment.

10. The screen according to claim 8 , wherein:

an antistatic processing agent is mixed in the diffusion layer.

11. The screen according to claim 8 , wherein:

an antistatic processing agent is applied on the diffusion layer.

12. A screen comprising:

a plurality of layers, wherein

at least one layer among the plurality of layers is the diffusion layer according to claim 8 ; and

at least one layer among the other plurality of layers is made from plastic material.
