Display systems and methods employing screens with an array of micro-lenses or micro-mirrors
First Claim
1. A screen for use in an immersive display system, the screen comprising:
- a multilayer structure comprising;
an array of micro-lenses, individual lenses in the array of micro-lenses having a width D;
a layer of light polarization material;
a polarization rotation layer;
a light reflection layer; and
a section of non-polarizing light scattering material for individual micro-lenses in the array of micro-lenses;
wherein the section of non-polarizing light scattering material has a width that is less than the width D,wherein, in use, light from a projector associated with the screen is substantially scattered by the non-polarizing light scattering material and light from a projector associated with a different screen in the immersive display system is substantially absorbed by the polarization layer.

Abstract
An immersive display system is disclosed that includes screens configured to mitigate reduction in contrast ratio due at least in part to peripheral light incident on the screens. The immersive display system includes at least one screen having an array of micro-lenses, a light polarization layer on top of the array of micro-lenses, a polarization rotation layer, a light reflection layer, and a section of non-polarizing light scattering material for individual micro-lenses in the array of micro-lenses. In use, light from a projector associated with the screen is substantially scattered by the non-polarizing light scattering material and light from a projector associated with a different screen in the immersive display system is substantially absorbed by the polarization layer.

14. A screen for use in an immersive display system, the screen comprising:
-
a multilayer structure comprising; an array of micro-mirrors, individual mirrors in the array of micro-mirrors having a width D; a polarization rotation layer; a linear polarization layer; and a section of non-polarizing light scattering material for individual micro-mirrors in the array of micro-mirrors; wherein the section of non-polarizing light scattering material has a width that is less than the width D, wherein, in use, light from a projector associated with the screen is substantially scattered by the non-polarizing light scattering material and light from a projector associated with a different screen in the immersive display system is substantially absorbed by the polarization layer. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
