Transparent screen and image display system
View Patent ↗A transparent screen is a transparent screen for diffusing image light projected from a projector and displaying an image by transmitting part of incident light rectilinearly and diffusing the other part of the incident light. The transparent screen includes a first base material that is transparent, a diffusion member, a second base material that is transparent, and a plurality of light absorption materials. The diffusion member is disposed within a first base material and diffuses the image light. The second base material is disposed on an opposite side of the first base material from the projector. The plurality of light absorption materials is disposed within the second base material and is arranged parallel to each other along an arrangement direction parallel to a principal plane of the second base material.
1. A transparent screen for diffusing image light projected from a projector being disposed to make an incidence angle of an image light to a center of the transparent screen between 40 degrees and 50 degrees inclusive and displaying an image by transmitting part of incident light rectilinearly and diffusing another part of the incident light, the transparent screen comprising:
a first base material that is transparent;
a diffusion member disposed within the first base material, the diffusion member diffusing the image light;
a second base material that is transparent and disposed on an opposite side of the first base material from the projector; and
a plurality of light absorption materials disposed within the second base material and arranged parallel to each other along an arrangement direction parallel to a principal plane of the second base material,
wherein plurality of light absorption materials extends along a normal direction to the principal plane, and
a ratio of a length of the plurality of light absorption materials in the normal direction to an arrangement interval of the plurality of light absorption materials is between 1.2 and 2.0 inclusive.
2. The transparent screen according to claim 1 , wherein the diffusion member includes microparticles.
3. The transparent screen according to claim 1 , wherein the diffusion member includes a mirror layer reflecting and transmitting the image light.
4. The transparent screen according to claim 2 , wherein when viewed from the normal direction, a ratio of an area of the plurality of light absorption materials to an area of the second base material is between 1% and 10% inclusive.
5. The transparent screen according to claim 1 , wherein the first base material and the second base material are joined with a transparent material.
6. An image display system comprising:
a projector configured to project image light; and
a transparent screen configured to diffuse the image light and display an image by transmitting part of incident light rectilinearly and diffusing another part of the incident light,
the transparent screen including:
a first base material that is transparent;
a diffusion member disposed within the first base material, the diffusion member diffusing the image light; and
a second base material that is transparent and disposed on an opposite side of the first base material from the projector; and
a plurality of light absorption materials disposed within the second base material and arranged parallel to each other along an arrangement direction parallel to a principal plane of the second base material,
wherein the projector is disposed to make an incidence angle of the image light to a center of the transparent screen between 40 degrees and 50 degrees inclusive,
the plurality of light absorption materials extends along a normal direction to the principal plane, and
a ratio of a length of the plurality of light absorption materials in the normal direction to an arrangement interval of the plurality of light absorption materials is between 1.2 and 2.0 inclusive.
7. The image display system according to claim 6 , wherein the projector is disposed to make a maximum incidence angle of the image light to the transparent screen between 60 degrees and 75 degrees inclusive.
8. The image display system according to claim 6 , wherein the diffusion member includes microparticles.
9. The transparent screen according to claim 6 , wherein the diffusion member includes mirror layer reflecting and transmitting the image light.
