On Optimizing Screen Curvature in a Front-Projection Indoor Theater
A theoretical analysis of light paths in a theater is given on the assumed basis that the screen is a perfect mirror. Analysis is made on curved screens of various radii to review the returned light paths. The aspects of projection angle, seating geometry and screen shape are discussed. Conclusions based on this theoretical approach are drawn, based on usual distribution patterns on screen materials. The “prime seat” theory is advanced and typical zones of seating around the prime seat are considered.
