Abstract

A front projection screen for pictorially displaying upon a front face of the screen an image projected onto the front face from a projector comprises a backing member having a front reflective surface and a polarization rotation plate overlaying the reflective surface for rotating the plane of polarization of light reflected from the surface. A sheet of lenticular lenses overlays the polarization rotation plate and a polarizing film overlays the lenticular lens sheet. The polarizing film has non-polarizing segments at a focal point of each of the lenticular lenses so that light from the projector is not attenuated by the film while light from other sources is attenuated.
