Abstract

A screen for use in image presentations comprises an array of transmissive elongated prisms. The screen is capable of delivering incident light, having an incident angle within a specific incident angle range, to the viewing area, while preventing ambient light, having an incident angle within another angle range, from being directed to the viewing area. According to one embodiment, in operation, the screen, an image source, and the viewing area are positioned such that the light from the image source is directed to the viewing area.
