The present invention provides a projection screen capable of sharply displaying an image even under bright environmental light, of improving brightness distribution and viewing angle, and of providing high image visibility, and a projection system including such a projection screen. The projection screen includes: a polarized-light selective reflection layer that selectively reflects a specific polarized-light component; a substrate that supports the polarized-light selective reflection layer; and a circular Fresnel lens provided on the observation side of the polarized-light selective reflection layer. The circular Fresnel lens controls the optical axis of right-handed circularly polarized light projected on the projection screen so that the light enters the polarized-light selective reflection layer nearly vertically to it regardless of the point and angle at which the light is incident on this layer. The right-handed circularly polarized light incident on the polarized-light selective reflection layer is diffuse-reflected from this layer owing to the scattering properties (the property of diffusing light that is selectively reflected, owing to structural non-uniformity in a cholesteric liquid crystalline structure containing a plurality of helical structure parts whose helical axes extend in different directions) possessed by the polarized-light selective reflection layer, and the reflected light is returned, via the circular Fresnel lens, to a particular observation point at which a viewer makes observation.

An EL element and an interface between a channel and an impurity diffusion area of a thin film transistor provided in the vicinity of the EL element are spaced apart.

The image capture device includes pixel data acquisition unit for acquiring pixel data of a pixel of interest and neighboring pixels from an image capture element; an edge direction determination unit for determining whether a pattern such as an edge is defined by neighboring pixels centered on the pixel of interest; correction unit; and color interpolation unit. When a pixel of interest is determined by a defective pixel determination unit to be a defective pixel, and is moreover determined by the edge direction determination unit not to lie in an edge direction, the correction unit will correct the pixel of interest to a correction value derived from pixel data of neighboring pixels in a symmetrical array centered thereon. For a pixel of interest that has not been corrected, color interpolation according to the direction the edge will be carried out by the color interpolation unit, using the determination outcome of the edge direction determination unit.

A projection screen comprises a cholesteric liquid crystalline, polarized-light selective reflection layer for selectively diffuse-reflecting a specific polarized-light component. The polarized-light selective reflection layer has, on its observation-side surface, a roughened part for controlling the direction of interfacial reflection of imaging light that is projected on the polarized-light selective reflection layer. Imaging light (right-handed circularly polarized light in the selective reflection wave range) projected on the projection screen from a projector enters the polarized-light selective reflection layer and is diffuse-reflected inside this layer owing to the scattering property of the layer; this light is diffused as diffuse-reflected light, in directions included in an approximately constant range. On the other hand, part of the right-handed circularly polarized light projected on the projection screen from the projector is reflected, by interfacial reflection, from the inclined planes of the roughened part provided on the viewer side surface of the polarized-light selective reflection layer. The reflected light emerges from the polarized-light selective reflection layer in a direction different from the main direction in which the light diffuse-reflected from the polarized-light selective reflection layer emerges and returns to the observation side as light reflected by interfacial reflection.
