Abstract

A transparent screen includes a refraction/total reflection plate in a form of a Fresnel lens, the refraction/total reflection plate having a sawtooth surface upon which light is incident and another surface via which the light exits, and an image formation/display plate for forming a projection image from the light that exits from the refraction/total reflection plate. Refraction slating surface portions each for refracting incident light towards the other surface of the refraction/total reflection plate, transmission slating surface portions each for making incident light pass therethrough, and total reflection slating surface portions each for reflecting incident light passing through one transmission slating surface portion towards the other surface of the refraction/total reflection plate being formed concentrically on the sawtooth surface of the refraction/total reflection plate.
