Abstract

An overlay for use on a transmission screen is disclosed which reduces front face glare by providing a plurality of inclined surfaces on the front surface thereof to deflect ambient light away from the viewing area. A coating of opaque material is applied to the peaks of the inclined surfaces to substantially eliminate "echos" of the image being viewed.
