Abstract

A projection screen includes a base sheet, a surface roughness structure, a reflective layer, and a light absorption layer. The base sheet has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. A plurality of first surfaces and second surfaces are formed on the first side, each first surface faces an optical projection system, and each second surface is disposed between two adjacent first surfaces and forms an angle with respect to a neighboring first surface. The surface roughness structure is formed on at least the first surfaces and capable of diffusing a light beam to a limited extent. The reflective layer is formed on the surface roughness structure and capable of reflecting most of the light beam diffused by the surface roughness structure to a limited extent towards a limited viewing cone, and the light absorption layer is formed on the second surfaces.

Claims (22)

1. A projection screen, comprising:

a base sheet having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, wherein a plurality of first surfaces and a plurality of second surfaces are formed on the first side, each of the first surfaces faces an optical projection system, each of the second surfaces is disposed between two adjacent first surfaces and forms an angle with respect to a neighboring first surface;

a surface roughness structure formed on at least the first surfaces and capable of diffusing a light beam emitted by the optical projection system to a limited extent;

a reflective layer formed on the surface roughness structure and capable of reflecting most of the light beam diffused by the surface roughness structure to a limited extent towards a limited viewing cone, wherein a half-intensity angle of the light beam diffused by the surface roughness structure is smaller than or equal to 30 degrees; and

a light absorption layer formed on the second surfaces.

2. The projection screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the surface roughness structure is formed on both the first surfaces and the second surfaces.

3. The projection screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the surface roughness structure comprises an etched structure or a sandblasted structure.

4. The projection screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the degree of roughness of the surface roughness structure is larger than or equal to 0.05 μm and smaller than or equal to 50 μm.

5. The projection screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first surfaces and the second surfaces are alternately arranged on the base sheet to form a jagged appearance, each of the first surfaces has a positive slope, and each of the second surfaces has a negative slope.

6. The projection screen as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a protection layer formed on the reflective layer.

7. The projection screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base sheet comprises UV curable resin.

8. The projection screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the first surfaces comprises a planar surface or a curved surface, and each of the second surfaces comprises a planar surface or a curved surface.

9. A projection screen, comprising:

a base sheet having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, wherein a plurality of first surfaces and a plurality of second surfaces are formed on the first side, each of the first surfaces faces an optical projection system, and each of the second surfaces is disposed between two adjacent first surfaces and forms an angle with respect to a neighboring first surface;

a micro diffusion layer formed on at least the first surfaces, wherein the micro diffusion layer comprises a reflective film and reflective particles dispersed in the reflective film, and the micro diffusion layer is capable of diffusing most of the light beam emitted by the optical projection system to a limited extent towards a limited viewing cone, wherein a half-intensity angle of the light beam diffused by the surface roughness structure is smaller than or equal to 30 degrees; and

a light absorption layer formed on the second surfaces.

10. The projection screen as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the micro diffusion layer is continually formed on the first surfaces and the second surfaces.

11. The projection screen as claimed in claim 9 , where the reflective film comprises a metallic film.

12. The projection screen as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first surfaces and the second surfaces are alternately arranged on the base sheet to form a jagged appearance, each of the first surfaces has a positive slope, and each of the second surfaces has a negative slope.

13. The projection screen as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising a protection layer formed on the micro diffusion layer.

14. The projection screen as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the base sheet comprises UV curable resin.

15. The projection screen as claimed in claim 9 , wherein each of the first surfaces comprises a planar surface or a curved surface, and each of the second surfaces comprises a planar surface or a curved surface.
