Reflection mirror and rear projection type image display apparatus
First Claim
1. A reflection mirror used for a rear projection type image display apparatus for projecting a video image beam from an image projector by reflecting the video image beam toward a screen, comprising:
- a base plate having a flat surface;
a reflective film of silver serving as a reflective surface formed on the flat surface of the base plate; and
a top-coat made of a transparent resin formed on the reflective film, wherein a side portion of a junction face between said base plate and said reflective film is covered with said top-coat.

Abstract
An object of the present invention is to obtain corrosion resistance performance which is more excellent than that of a conventional reflection mirror. To achieve the object, according to the invention, in a reflection mirror 30 having a metal plating film 2 and a top-coat layer 3 on a flat surface of a base plate 1, a silver reflection film 2 is formed by metal plating on the flat surface of the base plate 1. After that, by removing the reflective film on the side face of the base plate 1 or preventing the reflective film from being formed on the side face of the base plate 1 from the beginning, the side portion of the junction face between the base plate 1 and the reflective film 2 is completely covered with the top-coat film 3.

7. A rear projection type image display apparatus for projecting a video image beam from an image projector by reflecting the video image beam toward a screen by a reflection mirror, and having a holding part for holding said reflection mirror, said reflection mirror comprising:
-
a base plate having a flat surface;
a reflective film of silver serving as a reflective surface formed on the flat surface of the base plate; and
a top-coat made of a transparent resin formed on the reflective film, wherein said silver reflective film is formed only on the flat surface of said base plate on the side said image beam is incident and in a region out of a predetermined distance range from an end face of the base plate, and the predetermined distance range from the end face of the base plate is almost the same as a holding range of said holding part or includes the holding part.
