Screen requirements
This projector is used to project the image onto flat screens. However, the brightness and viewable range will vary
depending on which type of screen is used.
When selecting a screen, check the characteristics of the screen to ensure that it is suitable for the intended place
of use.

Screen characteristics
Polarized screen
Because the surface of the screen has been treated to make it polarized, it will only
reflect light from a single direction. Consequently, if you use such a screen with an
LCD projector, a clear image can be obtained even in bright rooms because the
screen hardly reflects any extraneous light.
White screen
Silver screen
Beaded screen
Flexible
translucent screen
Rigid-type
translucent screen
This type of screen can be seen from anywhere, so
there are no limits on the viewing position. However,
the surrounding walls should be darkened as in a
movie theater, otherwise a clear picture cannot be
obtained.
White screen
This type of screen gives a picture which is 2-4 times
brighter than a white screen. A variety of types are
available from different manufacturers, and each type
has different brightness characteristics. Some also
have restrictions on the possible range of viewing
positions.
Care should be taken with screens that have a
high gain, as these types of screen can cause
color distortion at the left and right edges.
Maximum brightness
Silver screen
This type of screen is recommended when the
projector is suspended from the ceiling.
This type of screen is similar to the silver screen,
except that no color distortion occurs at the left and
right edges. Moreover, most of the light is reflected at
the same angle as the angle of incidence.
Reduced brightness
This type of screen is recommended when the
projector is placed on the floor.
Maximum
brightness
Beaded screen
This type of screen is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
It has the same characteristics as silver screens, but
sometimes it can have hot spots.
This type of screen is made of acrylic plastic.
It is extremely durable and has excellent optical
characteristics. It performs in the same way as silver
screens.
