ABSTRACT:
A rear projection display device is provided. In an embodiment, the display device includes a laminate screen including a Fresnel lens lamina having a non-planar input surface, a substantially planar output surface and a first index of refraction. The laminate screen further may include a diffusion screen lamina having a substantially planar input surface, an output surface and a second index of refraction. The diffusion screen lamina may be in optical communication with the Fresnel lens lamina. Moreover, the planar output surface of the Fresnel lens lamina and the planar input surface of the diffusion screen lamina may be in facing relationship.
