Abstract

A mobile video display unit comprises a rear projection unit that projects at least one image onto a collapsible screen that surrounds the projection unit to permit viewing within a 360 degree radius of the unit. The collapsible screen can be perforated to permit air to diffuse through its surface and thereby providing resistance to wind loading.
