Abstract

A projection screen for a rear projection television set includes a Fresnel lens for focusing incident image light so as to center on an optical axis of the projection screen, and an optical diffusion member including a lenticular lens portion for diffusing the image light received from the Fresnel lens, wherein the external surface of the optical diffusion member is made of glass. The projection screen provides a wider angle of view compared with the Fresnel lens made of acryl and is resistant to scratching or breakage.
