Abstract

The vertical viewing angle of a rear projection screen having a large horizontal viewing angle and good color correction due to the special shape of the light dispersing elements provided on the front side of the plate is increased by elements provided on the rear side and extending in a direction perpendicular to the front side elements. The latter are preferably total internal reflection elements, while the former are not. A bulk diffusor may be largely or completely dispensed with.
