Abstract
A liquid crystal rear-projection TV screen has a double-side lens sheet and horizontal lenticular sheet. A vertical lenticular portion is disposed on the rear side of the double-side lens sheet, and Fresnel lens is disposed on the front side. A horizontal lenticular portion is disposed on the rear side of the horizontal lenticular sheet, and a light-shielding layer and protective resin substrate are disposed on the front side. The resin substrate of the double-side lens sheet has a low transmittance, and the resin substrates of the horizontal lenticular sheet have high transmittances. The observer recognizes an image on the double-side lens sheet arranged behind the light-shielding layer.
