A method for making wire grid optical elements by preferentially depositing material on a substrate is disclosed. Material can be preferentially deposited by directing an electromagnetic interference pattern on to a substrate to selectively heat areas of the substrate coincident with the interference pattern maxima. The substrate can then be exposed to gas phase material that is capable of preferentially accumulating on surfaces based on surface temperature.

Abstract:
The present invention is a screen, such as is used in back-lit projection screens, having a Fresnel lens laminated to another layer for support. The screen includes a Fresnel lens having an output surface, and a dispersing screen supportingly attached on a first side to the output surface of the Fresnel lens.

Abstract:
An optically dispersing film for a rear projection system includes reflecting surfaces disposed so as to reflect light passing therethrough into at least one dispersion plane. The reflecting surfaces are formed by structures, of a first refractive index, disposed within a layer of material having a second refractive index. The structures have light absorbing bases at the viewing side of the film. In some embodiments, the reflecting surfaces are disposed at one or more angles so as to reflect light into a number of different directions. In other embodiments, the layer of material having the second refractive index includes diffusing particles that diffuse the light. The film permits the asymmetric dispersion of image light in a rear projection system, so that the light may be selectively directed towards the viewer.

US Classification:
359454, 359460
Abstract:
Projection screen assemblies include one or more birefringent retarding layers and one or more polarizing layers. The retarding and polarizing layers reduce the unwanted reflection of ambient and image light. One embodiment of a screen assembly includes a dispersing layer having an input side to receive light from a light source and a first retarding layer disposed to alter the polarization of the light transmitted by the dispersing film. A first polarizer substantially transmits light received from the first retarding layer in a first polarization state and absorbs light received from the first retarding layer in a second polarization state orthogonal to the first polarization state.

International Classification:

US Classification:
359443, 359449
Abstract:
A rear projection screen assembly is described that includes a diffuser and a polarizer. The diffuser has particles dispersed within a binder. The particles and the binder have different refractive indices and are chosen such that the diffuser spreads light of an initial polarization state a cone of angles while substantially preserving the initial polarization state of the light. The diffuser also substantially depolarizing a portion of the light that is laterally scattered in the diffuser. The polarizer is disposed to receive light transmitted through the diffuser. The polarizer transmits light of the initial polarization state while absorbing a portion of the laterally scattered light that has a different polarization state. The resolution of the overall screen assembly may be made higher while also improving other characteristics of the screen assembly.
Projection Screen Using Variable Power Lenticular Lens For Asymmetric Viewing Angle

3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN
International Classification:
G03B 2156
US Classification:
359457, 359460
Abstract:
Rear projection screens use lenticular lens films as light dispersing components. A single lenticular lens film includes lenticular lenses having different focal powers, or includes lenticular lenses formed in two dimensional patterns. The lenticular lens films improve the brightness uniformity over the entire screen as viewed by a viewer who is located at a specific position. The specific position is typically selected to be the most probable location of the viewer for the particular application.

US Classification:
359460, 359453, 359454, 359459
Abstract:
Disclosed is a rear projection screen that includes a plurality of tapered waveguides and a light absorbing layer disposed over the tops of the waveguides, but that does not completely fill the spaces between the waveguides, thereby forming an interstitial low index region under the light absorbing layer and between the waveguides. The low index interstitial region can include air or a material that has a lower index of refraction than the waveguide material. This rear projection screen construction can give rise to increased efficiency and higher contrast, as well as allow for more design freedom in constructing screens that have desired characteristics such as viewing angle, viewing asymmetry, and the like. Also disclosed are methods for making the described microstructured rear projection screen.
