Front Screen Installations
In front screen installations, the projector and audience are positioned in front of the screen, which can be flat
or curved.
Flat screens offer a gain of about 1.0 with a viewing angle just less than 180°. This type of screen reflects
incident light equally in all directions so the audience can see the display from various angles.
Curved screens have a gain greater than 1.0 with a viewing angle much less than 180°. This type of screen does
not reflect incident light equally in all directions; instead it is concentrated in a viewing cone. The audience
sitting within the viewing cone area will see a brighter image than those sitting just outside the area.
