Abstract
A projection screen for displaying an image is disclosed. The projection screen may comprise an electrode, a plurality of cavities, an upper and lower substrate, and a hydrophobic liquid. The electrode may be disposed on a lower substrate. The hydrophobic liquid may be disposed between the upper substrate and lower substrate. The plurality of cavities may be disposed between the upper and the lower substrates. The projection screen may be associated with the electrode. The projection screen may be configured such that an application of an appropriate voltage to the electrode changes optical properties of the projection screen. Optical properties of the projection screen may comprise transparent and opaque states. Modulation between transparent and opaque states may be in such speed that a viewer sees the projection of a projector on the projection screen in the opaque state as well as sees through the projection screen in the transparent state with no perceived interruptions.
