Projection screens
  • Projection screens are used in combination with multimedia projectors to improve the quality of the projected image
  • The right screen allows to use all opportunities of the multimedia projector
  • The right choice of the screen will allow to get along without a less powerful and therefore cheaper projector
Projection screens
Classification of projection screens by mounting type
Ceiling and wall projection screens
Projection screens that are attached to the wall or ceiling.

  • When selecting a fixed screen, first of all, pay attention to the quality of the image it provides
  • Both ceiling and wall projector screens can be roll or tension. Rolled, in turn, with manual or motorized.
  • Motorized screens are indispensable in large halls, while the roll-up screen folded manually is suitable for a small audience or meeting room
Projection screens on a frame
Projection screen stretched on a prefabricated frame ("tension screen").

  • Thanks to the lightweight aluminum frame, the screen assembly can be easily transported by one person
  • Maximum dimensions of the case correspond to the length of one knee of the frame (about one meter)
  • The screen is convenient both for transportation and storage
The big advantage of the screens on a frame in comparison with the variants with a tripod is in the possible size of the area of the canvas. Some manufacturers offer designs up to 5 meters in height. In addition, the fabric of the tension screen can vary depending on the purpose. On the same frame can be assembled screen both forward and reverse projection.
Projection screens on a tripod
  • A projection screen on a tripod can be easily rolled up and rolled out (usually manually) and is easy to transport
  • Stiffness and stability of a projection screen in its unfolded state plays an important role in this variant of a projection screen
  • Since the center of gravity of the screen surface falls on the upper part, this screen cannot be very large. Therefore, screens on a tripod are suitable for small rooms
Classification of projection screens by the type of display on the surface
Direct projection screens
  • Screens designed according to the principle of light reflection. In this case the multimedia projector is placed directly in front of the screen

Reverse projection screens
  • The so-called rear projection screens. Such a screen is placed between the viewer and the projector
This option is suitable if you want to avoid taking too much space in the room and disturbing the viewer with a fan noise. There is one more advantage of a rear projection screen - visibly higher brightness. A possible problem with this variant is that there should be enough space behind the screen for the projector and its work.

Also, there are projection screens that can work in both modes. They are usually positioned as screens with a "360 degree view".
Classification of projection screens according to the screen material used
The surface of the fabric has different textures and therefore reflects the beam from the projector lamp differently.

Frosted screens
  • A light-white surface reflects the multimedia projector's beam evenly in all directions. In this case the picture will be well visible to all viewers, including those who sit on the side. Such screens are the most universal and widespread, their cost is less than the screens with directional reflection.
Glossy screens
  • Glossy screens (or screens with directional reflection) are suitable for rooms where the number of viewers is approximately constant, small, and they are placed directly in front of the screen. They are convenient because the viewers sitting right in front of the screen see a brighter and more contrasted image than on a normal screen, at the same brightness of the projector. By choosing this screen, you gain in picture clarity, but you lose in the possible number of viewers.
Classification of projection screens by size
Depending on the task, the size of the screen - even its configuration - can be very different. If they are not specialized screens, for advertising installations and shows, they usually refer to the 4:3 format (standard definition television format SDTV) or 16:9 (high definition television format HDTV).
When selecting a screen size, the following rule is most often followed:

  • The screen diagonal size should be three times smaller than the distance from the screen to the viewers
