The present invention provides an immersive rear projection display capable of
providing aspect ratios of 2.66:1 or 4:1, or even greater. This allows viewers
to be "immersed" in the images being displayed because the images can encompass
both the direct and the peripheral views of a viewer. In one implementation, the
immersive rear projection display includes two or more electronic projectors (e.g.,
three) that are positioned behind a curved translucent display screen. The electronic
projectors project respective display images adjacent each other onto the display screen.
