Abstract

A screen is disclosed. The screen includes an angle magnifying unit and a deflecting unit. The angle magnifying unit has a first lens assembly and a second lens assembly. The first and second lens assemblies are aligned along a first direction. The first lens assembly has a plurality of first lenses, and each of the first lenses has a first radius of curvature. The second lens assembly has a plurality of second lenses, and each of the second lenses has a second radius of curvature. The magnification of the angle enlarging unit is the ratio of the first radius of curvature to the second radius of curvature. Furthermore, the deflecting unit is disposed between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly. The deflecting unit has a plurality of deflecting prisms that aligned along a second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

Claims

1. A screen comprising:

an angle magnifying unit comprising a first lens module and a second lens module, the first lens module and the second lens module aligned along a first direction, the first lens module comprising a plurality of first lenses, each of the first lenses comprising a first radius of curvature, the second lens module comprising a plurality of second lens, each of the second lenses comprising a second radius of curvature, the magnification of the angle magnifying unit is a ratio of the first radius of curvature to the second radius of curvature;

a first deflecting unit disposed between the first lens module and the second lens module, the first deflecting unit comprising a plurality of first deflecting prisms, the first deflecting prisms aligned along a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction; and

a second deflecting unit disposed at one side of the angle magnifying unit, the second deflecting unit comprising a plurality of deflecting prisms, and the second deflecting prisms aligned along a third direction, wherein the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

2. The screen of claim 1 further comprising a diffusion unit, the diffusion unit comprising a plurality of diffusion elements, the diffusion elements aligned along the third direction.

3. The screen of claim 2, wherein the diffusion elements are disposed at one side of the angle magnifying unit or between the first lens module and the second lens module of the angle magnifying unit.

4. The screen of claim 1, wherein the first deflecting unit or the second deflecting unit is a linear Fresnel lens.

5. The screen of claim 1 further comprising a black matrix layer disposed at one side of the second lens module far away from the first lens module.

6. The screen of claim 5, wherein the black matrix layer is disposed on one surface of the second lens module.

7. A multiple-screen system comprising:

a plurality of projecting devices; and

a plurality of screens assembled adjacent to each other and disposed at a light emitting side of the projecting devices, each of the screens comprising;

an angle magnifying unit comprising a first lens module and a second lens module, the first lens module and the second lens module aligned along a first direction, the first lens module comprising a plurality of first lenses, each first lens comprising a first radius of curvature, the second lens module comprising a plurality of second lens, each second lens comprising a second radius of curvature, the magnification of the angle magnifying unit is a ratio of the first radius of curvature to the second radius of curvature;
