On Contrast in Rear-Projection Screens

Leo Levi

Rear-projection screens are known to give poorer preformance in rendering large luminance differences in images than do reflecting screens. This seems to be due primarily to internal reflections in the rear-projection screens. This paper analyzes the effect of internal reflection on the rendition of luminance differences and also the improvement obtainable when an absorbing screen base is used. Some experimental results are presented.
