Abstract

In a projection screen for a rear projection type television set, three lens sheets are arranged in the order of a lenticular lens sheet, a linear Fresnel lens sheet, and a circular Fresnel lens sheet when seen from a viewer's side toward a projector tube. As compared with the arrangement in which the linear and circular Fresnel lens sheets are exchanged with each other, it is possible to obtain a higher brightness and a more uniform brightness, and color uniformity in the picture plane. Further, when the light incident surface of the linear Fresnel lens sheet is matted, it is possible to eliminate white bands (seen from the viewer's side) effectively.
