The present invention relates to a projection screen, and more particularly to a projection screen suitable for large front and rear projection display.                         

Image projection (projection) systems of commodities such as projection televisions or video projectors, as illustrated in FIG. 1, are specially designed small cathode ray tubes (CRTs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), DLPs, and the like. An image display system in which an image is generated by using an image display means such as a (Digital Lighting Processing) type display, and the image is reflected on the screen 11 directly or by reflecting the image directly to the mirror 12. The demand is increasing day by day from the advantage of obtaining a large screen to meet the needs of.

Such image projection systems include a front projection system called a front type and a rear projection system called a rear type according to a method of projecting an image onto a screen, as is well known. Light is projected forward along the projection axis toward the image to form an image on the screen surface that is perceived by the observer in front of the screen.

As a conventional projection type screen, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-77736, a diffusion panel is placed on a transparent panel, and a spherical lens is adhered thereto by an adhesive resin. In addition, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 7-5570 discloses a screen sheet material for which a bead layer including a binder and transparent beads or colored beads is formed on either side of a substrate made of a material having light transparency.

On the other hand, Korean Patent Publication No. 2001-0042275 discloses a screen having a light transparent layer having a predetermined thickness on one side of a substrate, and light-transparent beads partially embedded in the light transparent layer.

However, the screen according to the prior art as described above has a problem in that a double image occurs on one side of the screen, and the desired brightness or viewing angle is not secured, and the light source is visible when the screen is viewed from the viewer side. In order to make the light source invisible, a black dye or pigment is mixed and coated with an adhesive or adhesive for fixing beads, or a separate Fresnel lens is disposed. There is a problem that the degradation, the complexity of the process and the cost increase due to the arrangement of the lens.

Therefore, the present invention improves the problems of the prior art, the light source of the projector is not seen when viewed from the front of the viewer side, there is no dual image on both sides of the screen, the projection screen with high brightness and greatly improved viewing angle, and projection type system using the same The purpose is to provide.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, the present invention is a light-transmissive substrate; And a number of non-colored binders containing a coloring agent and a colored binder resin layer containing at least two beads having different average particle diameters and refractive indices on one side of the substrate, and at least two beads having different average particle diameters and refractive indices on the other side. Provided is a projection screen, including strata.

In order to achieve the above another technical problem, the present invention provides a front or rear projection type system, which includes magnifying and projecting an image generated by an image generating apparatus on the projection type screen.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, a projection screen according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a binder resin, a curing agent, a colorant, and two or more beads 21 and 22 having different average particle diameters and refractive indices on one side of the substrate 24. ), The composition prepared by dispersing in a solvent, and applying light or heat to form a colored binder resin layer 25, and then on the other side of the binder resin, the curing agent and two or more kinds of beads having different average particle diameter and refractive index ( 21, 22) is apply | coated and the composition manufactured by disperse | distributing to a solvent is apply | coated, and it manufactures by forming a non-colored binder resin layer 23 by applying light or heat. Applying light or heat after applying the binder resin-containing composition causes self curing or curing reaction between the binder resin and the curing agent, and the result of the curing reaction of the binder resin and the curing agent, colorant, and two or more kinds in the final colored binder resin layer. Beads exist, and the result of the curing reaction of the binder resin and the curing agent and two or more kinds of beads exist in the final non-colored binder resin layer.

The two or more beads used in the present invention have different average particle diameters in the range of 0.1 to 200 μm, preferably 0.1 to 100 μm. If the average particle diameter of the beads exceeds 200 μm, the viewing angle is deteriorated, and if smaller than 0.1 μm, there is a problem of lowering the luminance, which is not preferable. According to the present invention, the beads having different average particle diameters are mixed with each other, so that the effect of light diffusion and the viewing angle are widened and the light source is invisible as compared with the presence of only single particle diameter beads. This is because the number of beads per unit area of the substrate can be increased by filling the voids between the beads having the larger particle diameters with the beads having the smaller particle diameters. It is preferable that the difference of the average particle diameter of each of these beads is in the range of 0.01 to 100 µm.

In addition, the two or more beads used in the present invention have different refractive indices in the range of 1.30 to 2.50, preferably 1.4 to 1.9. When the refractive index of the bead is less than 1.30, the viewing angle becomes worse, and when it exceeds 2.50, it is not preferable because the luminance is lowered. That is, desired brightness and sufficient viewing angle can be obtained by appropriately mixing and using beads having different refractive indices. It is preferable that the difference in refractive index between these beads is in the range of 0.01 to 1.0.

Organic beads, inorganic beads and organic-inorganic mixed beads may all be used as the beads according to the present invention, and materials thereof include acrylics such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA); Silicone based such as methyl silicone and polyorganosiloxane; Melamines such as melamine formaldehyde; Styrenes such as polystyrene and methyl styrene; Acrylic-polystyrene systems such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) -polystyrene (PS); Vinyl type such as divinylbenzene; Calcium carbonate (CaCO ₃ ); Silica (SiO ₂ ); And SiO ₂ -containing polymethylmethacrylate can be used.

The beads may be used in an amount of 5 to 400 parts by weight, preferably 5 to 150 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the binder resin. When the content of the beads is less than 5 parts by weight, the beads are not evenly applied evenly, and when the content exceeds 400 parts by weight, there is a problem that the viewing angle is reduced or the brightness is reduced, which is not preferable.

In the present invention, as the binder resin, one or more types of transparent resins such as acrylic resins or urethane resins may be used.

In addition, the colorant serves to improve the contrast of the projected image by absorbing the incident external light to reduce the amount of reflection of the external light. Black dyes or pigments are used as the colorant, and examples thereof include carbon black. The colorant may be used in an amount of 1 to 200 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 100 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the binder resin. If the content of the colorant is less than 1 part by weight, the added effect is insignificant. If the content of the colorant is more than 200 parts by weight, the brightness of the projection screen is decreased, which is not preferable.

As the curing agent according to the present invention, an isocyanate-based curing agent may be used (particularly suitable when the binder resin is two or more core resins), and may be used in an amount of 5 to 40 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the binder resin.

In the present invention, a solvent commonly used may be appropriately selected and used as necessary. Examples thereof include water and amines substituted with alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and amino groups. Organic solvents are mentioned.

The method of forming the colored binder resin layer and the non-colored binder resin layer on the substrate may be adopted without particular limitation as long as it is a method commonly known in the art, and may be, for example, depending on the material and shape of the substrate. Coating method, air knife coating method, gravure (gravure) coating method, reverse roll coating method, spray coating method and blade roll coating method can be used arbitrarily selected. At this time, 2-100 micrometers is suitable for the thickness of each of these resin layers. When the thickness is thinner than 2 μm, it is difficult to fix the beads disposed in the resin layer, and the light source is easy to see, and when the thickness is thicker than 100 μm, the luminance is small, which is not preferable.

As the substrate of the present invention, a material having light transmittance such as plastic film such as acrylic, polyester, polycarbonate, polystyrene, glass, glass fiber, ceramic fiber, fiber cloth, synthetic paper is used, and in particular, the beam of the image emitted from the lens of the projector It may be formed of glass to increase the transmittance and the brightness of the screen, and may be formed of a transparent acrylic plate to produce a light weight and low cost. Although the thickness of a base material is not specifically limited, 5-10,000 micrometers is preferable in consideration of said transmittance | permeability, brightness | luminance, a weight, etc.

Usually, as illustrated in FIG. 2, after forming the colored binder resin layer 25 and the non-colored binder resin layer 23 according to the present invention on each side of the substrate 24, an acrylic or urethane adhesive or adhesive Coating 27 or bonding a release film (transparent substrate) 28 to any one resin layer (eg, binder resin layer 23) using adhesive or adhesive tape to complete the projection screen. In this case, the protective film 26 may be positioned on the surface of the resin layer (eg, the colored binder resin layer 25) to which the transparent substrate 28 is not bonded.
