Abstract:
A system for projecting content onto a shaped screen. The system includes a projector configured for projecting content having a particular shape and a rear projection screen with an optically active light redirecting film, such as Fresnel lenses, for receiving and displaying the projected content. The rear projection screen and the optically active light redirecting film each have a shape substantially conforming to the particular shape of the content. The optically active light redirecting film, such as a Fresnel lens sheet, provides for brightness uniformity and a wide view angle. The rear projection screen can include a turning film for displaying content received from the projector at an angle.
