A projection screen including a polarized-light selective reflection layer having a cholesteric liquid crystalline structure that causes selective diffuse-reflection of a specific polarize-light component, and a substrate for supporting the polarized-light selective reflection layer. The polarized-light selective reflection layer includes three partial selective reflection layers that are layered one over another, and each partial selective reflection layer has a cholesteric liquid crystalline structure that causes selective diffuse-reflection of a specific polarized light component. In the polarized-light selective reflection layer, three partial selective reflection layers that reflect light in the green (G) color wave range, red (R) color wave range, and blue (B) color wave range are layered in this order, the firstly-mentioned partial selective reflection layer being on the observation side. Namely, the partial selective reflection layer for selectively reflecting light in the green (G) color wave range is arranged as the outermost layer on the observation side.

The present invention is to provide a light emitting device capable of obtaining a certain luminance without influence by the temperature change, and a driving method thereof. A current mirror circuit formed by using a transistor is provided for each pixel. The first transistor and the second transistor of the current mirror circuit are connected such that the drain currents thereof are maintained at proportional values regardless of the load resistance value. Thereby, a light emitting device capable of controlling the OLED driving current and the luminance of the OLED by controlling the drain current of the first transistor at a value corresponding to a video signal in a driving circuit, and supplying the drain current of the second transistor to the OLED, is provided.

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.

A projection screen includes a polarized-light selective reflection layer having a cholesteric liquid crystalline structure, capable of selectively diffuse-reflecting a specific polarized-light component; a substrate for supporting the polarized-light selective reflection layer; and an optical member provided on the observation side of the polarized-light selective reflection layer. The optical member diffuses imaging light which the polarized-light selective reflection layer diffuse-reflects, while maintaining the state of polarization of the imaging light. The optical member diffuses right-handed circularly polarized light that is projected on the projection screen, when the light travels from the observation side to the polarized-light selective reflection layer. The diffused light (31a1) enters the polarized-light selective reflection layer and is diffuse-reflected owing to the scattering property of the polarized-light selective reflection layer (the property of diffusing light that is selectively reflected, owing to structural non-uniformity in the cholesteric liquid crystalline structure containing a plurality of helical structure parts, the helical axes of which extend in different directions). The optical member further diffuses this diffused light (31a2) when the light travels from the polarized-light selective reflection layer toward the observation side. The thus diffused light (31a3) finally emerges toward the observation side.

The present invention provides a see-through transmitting-reflecting projection screen excellent in transparency, capable of sharply displaying, on its both sides, identical or different images even under bright environmental light.A transmitting-reflecting projection screen 10 comprises a reflection-type screen 11 and a transmission-type screen 12. The reflection-type screen 11 reflects a specific polarized component of imaging light projected. The reflection-type screen 11 does not reflect a polarized component, different from the specific polarized component, of the imaging light, and this polarized component passes through the reflection-type screen 11 and the transmission-type screen 12.

The present invention provides a projection screen capable of sharply displaying an image by minimizing the influence of the loss of light that occurs on a polarized-light selective reflection layer and of providing high image visibility. A projection screen includes: a polarized-light selective reflection layer that selectively reflects a specific polarized-light component; and a substrate that supports the polarized-light selective reflection layer. The polarized-light selective reflection layer includes a plurality of partial selective reflection layers that are laminated to one another, and the partial selective reflection layers have cholesteric liquid crystalline structures, owing to which they selectively reflect a specific polarized-light component. The cholesteric liquid crystalline structure of each partial selective reflection layer comprises a plurality of helical structure parts that are different in direction of helical axis, and, owing to structural non-uniformity in the cholesteric liquid crystalline structure, diffuses light (imaging light) that is selectively reflected. The partial selective reflection layer (11a) is for selectively reflecting light in the green (G) color wave range, the partial selective reflection layer (11b) is for selectively reflecting light in the blue (B) color wave range, and the partial selective reflection layer (11c) is for selectively reflecting light in the red (R) color wave range. These partial selective reflection layers (11a, 11b and 11c) are successively laminated in this order from the substrate side.

A projection screen including a polarized-light selective reflection layer having a cholesteric liquid crystalline structure that causes selective diffuse-reflection of a specific polarized-light component, and a substrate for supporting the polarized-light selective reflection layer. The polarized-light selective reflection layer includes three partial selective reflection layers, each of which contains molecules of a liquid crystal made from an organic compound, forming an organic film as a whole, and has a cholesteric liquid crystalline structure that causes selective diffuse-reflection of a specific polarized-light component. Each partial selective reflection layer of the polarized-light selective reflection layer is ordered according to wavelength of the range of light reflected. Beginning from the observation side, the order is as follows: blue (B) color wave range, green (G) color wave range, and red (R) color wave range.

Provided is a projection system capable of obtaining a sharp contrast without being influenced by an ambient light, the projection system including a projection screen, containing a substrate and a polarized light selective-reflection layer formed on the substrate that diffuse-reflects right-handed circularly polarized light or left-handed circularly polarized light. An image is displayed by reflecting an image light irradiated from a projector on the projection screen. An external light screen is installed at an external light entrance and disposed in a sequence of a linearly polarizing plate and a retardation plate from an external side, and the external light screen circularly polarizes a light in reverse direction to the circularly polarized light diffuse-reflected by the polarized light-selective reflection layer. A transmission axis of the linearly polarizing plate is in a horizontal direction.

A projection screen capable of sharply displaying an image even under bright environmental light with high image visibility. A projection screen has a polarized-light selective reflection layer with a cholesteric liquid crystalline structure, capable of selectively reflecting a specific polarized light component, and a substrate for supporting the reflection layer. Of the light entering the reflection layer from the viewer's side, the right-handed light in the selective reflection wave range is reflected from the reflection layer as reflected light. As a result of structural non-uniformity in the cholesteric liquid crystalline structure, the light that is selectively reflected (reflected light) is diffused.
