A holographic screen can provide 鈥渟hocking鈥 improvements in picture quality
for rear projection TV sets, says Thomson of France (WO 99/39512). Normally,
lenses beam red, green and blue light onto a translucent TV screen. But since
the beams hit the screen at different angles, their colours only look pure to a
viewer sitting in front of the set. Adding a segmented 鈥渇resnel鈥 lens widens the
viewing angle, but coarsens the image. Thomson has found that a photopolymer
sheet etched with a holographic diffraction grating disperses the light widely
enough for viewers to see pure colour from all angles.
