Reflection screen and image display system
A reflection screen includes: a reflection layer provided on the back side and adapted to reflect light; and a surface shape layer provided on the reflection layer, at the image source side relative to the reflection screen, the surface shape layer having a plurality of unit optical shapes arrayed and deflecting image light toward the reflection layer side. The unit optical shape satisfies, in a section along the array direction of the unit optical shapes and orthogonal to a screen plane, the relationship of α+2φ−θ>90°, where θ is an angle that a total reflection surface makes with a plane parallel to the screen plane, φ is an angle that an incidence surface makes with a normal direction to the screen plane, and α is an angle that light incident on the incidence surface makes with the normal direction to the screen plane.
1. A reflection screen adapted to reflect image light projected from an image source to display an image in a viewable manner, the reflection screen comprising:
a lens layer provided on a back side thereof with a Fresnel lens shape having an array of a plurality of unit lenses provided on the back side, the unit lenses each having a lens surface and a non-lens surface and being protuberant toward the back side;
a reflection layer adapted to reflect light, the reflection layer formed at least on the lens surfaces of the unit lenses; and
a surface lens layer disposed on the reflection screen on the side of the image source, the surface lens layer having a lenticular lens shape provided on the image source side, the lenticular lens shape provided at an image-source-side surface thereof with a plurality of unit surface lenses each protuberant toward the image source side, the unit surface lenses being arrayed in a screen left-right direction of the reflection screen, with their longitudinal direction set in the screen up-down direction of the reflection screen;
wherein the Fresnel lens shape has an optical center located outside of a screen of the reflection screen,
wherein the unit surface lenses are each so shaped that the width thereof in the array direction is not less than the height thereof, and
wherein the unit surface lens is so configured that,
in a section parallel to the array direction of the unit surface lens and parallel to a thickness direction of the reflection screen,
an angle that a tangent to a bottom-part-side surface of the unit surface lens makes with the screen plane is greater than an angle that a tangent to an apex-part-side surface of the unit surface lens makes with the screen plane, and
a variation, per a predetermined length, of the angle that the tangent to the bottom mart-side surface of the unit surface lens makes with the screen plane is greater than a variation, per the predetermined length, of the angle that the tangent to the apex-part-side surface of the unit surface lens makes with the screen plane.
2. The reflection screen according to claim 1 , wherein recesses recessed away from the image source side are each formed between the unit surface lenses.
3. The reflection screen according to claim 1 , wherein an image-source-side surface of the surface lens layer is formed with a minutely rugged shape.
4. The reflection screen according to claim 1 , wherein the surface lens layer has a hard coating function.
5. The reflection screen according to claim 1 , wherein the Fresnel lens shape is a circular Fresnel lens shape.
6. The reflection screen according to claim 1 , wherein at least the non-lens surface is formed with a light absorption layer adapted to absorb light.
7. The reflection screen according to claim 1 , wherein the reflection screen includes at least one of a light diffusion layer adapted to diffuse light and a colored layer colored in a predetermined density, on the image source side relative to the lens layer.
8. An image display system comprising:
the reflection screen according to claim 1 ; and
an image source adapted to project image light onto the reflection screen.
