- Abstract
- The lack of a general performance criterion for projection screens is regrettable, particularly in view of recent advances in screen design. In this paper a performance rating is proposed which is based on empirical results as well as theoretical considerations. It does not stress a particular property of the screen, but rather the interaction of several factors determining the overall performance. It is shown that the new criterion gives an unbiased rating of screens of widely diverse characteristics. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by concrete examples. In the application to a class of absorbing screens, certain limitations may exist whose analysis calls for further experimental evidence. The results discussed reveal the surprisingly large margin left for possible improvements in screens.
