Rear-projection screen
First Claim
1. A transparent rear-projection screen having a front side and a rear side, which on its rear side is provided with a lens surface for paralleling of light coming from behind, and which on its front side facing the viewer is provided with rectilinear lenses comprising a plurality of vertical lens pairs to spread the light in a horizontal plane, wherein between the vertical lens pairs there are light absorbing grooves, which are at least partly filled with a light absorbing material, the side surfaces of each of said light absorbing groove being arranged relative to the screen such that incident light beams pass across said side surfaces without reflection.
