A projection screen apparatus and method of making the same. The apparatus has a perimeter frame and a projection screen where the perimeter frame includes an upper frame member, a lower frame member, a left frame member and a right frame member, where at least two of the frame members have a groove or track. The projection screen has fastening edges on at least two opposite sides for fastening the projection screen to the perimeter frame by inserting the fastening edge in the groove or track of a frame member. An auxiliary element is inserted in the groove or track next to a fastening edge, to prevent the fastening edge from exiting the groove.

Tensioned projection screen

Seamless display screens that are portable and can be installed in a fast manner, as well as a projection unit for use with several projectors as well as methods of making such display screens. The projection unit can be suitable for being used as a rear projection unit. Devices are provided for reducing depth of the projection unit, to compensate for blend zones and to make it easy to transport such as to be suitable for trade shows, e.g. mirrors or Fresnel lenses.

Seamless projection screen for fast installation

A curved back-projection screen having an angle of curvature greater than 180&#xb0; is described such as a wrap-around cylindrical or dome screen. The screen includes a first layer and a second synthetic resin diffusing layer on the first layer, the second synthetic resin diffusing layer containing a light absorbing material and light diffusing particles embedded in a resin material, with the second synthetic resin diffusing layer having a value of the product of the absorption coefficient and thickness of between 0.1 and 2. The second synthetic resin diffusing layer can be applied by spraying.
