Abstract

A display system has a directional reflection screen with a triangularly-shaped mirror sheet as horizontal focusing for observers and stereoscopic image projecting means. The directional reflection screen has a triangularly-shaped mirror sheet with included angles at least some of which are non-right angles. This enables a plurality of observers to simultaneously obtain a stereoscopic view using a binocular parallax without wearing special glasses and without having to position themselves in a very limited number of positions relative to the screen. Vertical diffusion can also be provided by using a lens sheet. The screen can be made concave in the horizontal or vertical directions, or both.
