5. Problems & Opportunities with Projectors New classes of reduced-cost projectors means more and more projectors are used in More places with uncontrolled lighting Portable applications for business and recreation Conventional, vinyl-based front projection screens only work in dark rooms Recent advances in fixed screen technology offer some improvement in lighted rooms, but Are not portable Mis-priced for new markets Are not a mass market solution for projection screens in lighted rooms New projectors require new kinds of screens High gain Ambient rejection Portable Lower cost
7. Why High Gain Screens Matter On-Axis Illuminance of projector/screen-size/gain Øv -> Εv -> Lv lm -> lx (lm/m2) -> nits (lm/m2/sr) power -> power/area -> power/area/solid-angle
8. Gain Trade-Offs One Dimensional Distribution of Luminous Flux at Various Gains
9. White diffused reflectance standard with known reflectance (99%) Diffuse Reflectance Source (DS) Luminance meter 1) Measure illuminance - reflectance standard (Irs) 2) Measure illuminance from SUT (Is) Collimated illumination source, focused to “∞” Photodetector Integrating sphere creating diffused reflection Projection Screen (SUT) 3) Obtain Diffuse Reflectance Source DS = Is / Irs
10. 1) Measure illuminance - reflectance standard (Lrs) 2) Measure reflection from SUT (Ls) Luminance meter Luminance meter diffuser diffuser Satellite sphere containing 3000K Halogen lamp Integrating sphere creating diffused illumination Projection Screen (SUT) White diffused reflectance standard with known reflectance (99%) Diffuse Reflectance Ambient (DA) 3) Obtain Diffuse Reflectance Ambient DA = Ls / Lrs
11. Competitive Analysis For low & mid-luminance projectors in lighted rooms, screens must have high gain and an Ambient Rejection Ratio (ARR) above 1.3
13. Where BVT BRIGHTSCREEN Fits High-growth projector segments need screens designed for new applications BRIGHTSCREEN FPS serves these segments with High gain Good ambient rejection Portable Functional, elegant packaging BVTTargeT

Room Light background – 50-500 LuxLCD TV 300-500 nitsLCD Monitor 175-250 nitsMD RPTV – 400-500 nitsThe luminous output of the projector is measured in lumens (power); the lumens when delivered to a particular area are measured in lux (lumens/ m2); the reflected luminous surface of a projected image is measured in nits (lux per steradian or power/area/solid angle). Lux and nits are not interchangeable, but are related.
For light traversing a single semi cylindrical lens, gain can be modeled as a family of sinusoidal lobes, defined by the integral of -pi/2 to pi/2 of ncos theta for n=1to 10

We need to stress that portability is only one of the attributes of the products we are creating.
