Abstract
A lenticular lens sheet for use as a rear-projection screen, comprises a body sheet; back lenses having a substantially elliptic cross section and formed in a back surface of the body sheet; front lenses formed in a front surface of the body sheet at the focal points of the back lenses or in the vicinity thereof; and a light absorbing layer formed on sections of the front surface at the non-focal points of the back lenses. Pitches p of the back and the front lenses, and thickness t of the lenticular lens sheet equal to distance between a plane in contact with the back lenses and a plane in contact with the front lenses meet an inequality: 1.1.ltoreq.t/p.ltoreq.1.4, and conic coefficient k of a conic section defining the cross section of the back lenses is in the range of -0.5 to -0.4.
