Abstract

In a rear-projection screen comprising a Fresnel lens and a light-diffusing member containing light-diffusing fine particles, it is intended to decrease the moire and to give no dark feeling at the border even when projection systems are set in a short projection distance. For this end, in the rear-projection screen of the present invention, the thickness of the light-diffusing member is made larger at the border than at the center of the rear-projection screen, or the concentration of the light-diffusing fine particles contained in the light-diffusing member is made larger at the border than at the center so that the rear-projection screen can have light diffusion properties greater at its border than at its center. Here, any of a flat plate, a flat sheet and a lenticular lens sheet can be used as the light-diffusing member.
