A projection screen for diffusing illumination light into a range of viewing angles is formed by depositing a coating on a substrate. Within the coating are particles having an average particle height. Protrusions at least two microns higher than the average particle height may be substantially uniformly distributed over the screen. In some embodiments, each protrusion may be no closer than 80 microns to another protrusion.

A seamless large screen image display having multiple tiled projection screens is disclosed. The screens can have a decorative pattern as well as black surface. Images can be presented without noticing the decorative patterns.

A virtual image display device includes an intermediate image formation unit on which a real image based on an image display light is formed. The intermediate image formation unit includes a principal surface on which a first area, a second area, and a third area are arranged in a stated order in a predetermined direction, and a reflective part. The first area is provided with a transmission-type screen on which a first display light forms an image, and the third area is provided with a reflection-type screen on which a second display light forms an image. The first display light is transmitted through the transmission-type screen, reflected by the reflective part, transmitted through the second area, and output toward a projection mirror. The second display light is reflected by the reflection-type screen and output toward the projection mirror.

A total internal reflection screen includes a light diffusion layer, a total internal reflection layer and a light absorption layer arranged sequentially from an incidence side of a projected light. The light absorption layer absorbs an incident light and the light diffusion layer increases a divergence angle of an emergent light. The total internal reflection layer includes a plurality of microstructure units that is rotationally symmetrical and extends continuously in a plane of the total internal reflection screen. Each of the microstructure units includes a first material layer disposed at the side of the light diffusion layer and a second material layer disposed at the side of the light absorption layer. The interface between the first material layer and the second material layer is includes two intersecting planes, which are disposed in such a way that the projected light is totally internally reflected continuously at the two intersecting planes.

A projection screen and a projection system using the projection screen. The projection screen includes a microstructure layer and a light absorbing layer sequentially stacked from the side where a projected light is introduced. The microstructure layer includes multiple microstructure units. Each microstructure unit includes one reflective surface and one lens surface opposite the reflective surface; moreover, the reflective surface is provided at a position matching the focus of the lens surface. The projection screen and the projection system can resist ambient light and have a high gain and a high contrast.
