A light diffusing laminated plate including a first light diffusing layer containing
particles of a transparent light diffusing material dispersed therein and having
a concave cross-section, and a second light diffusing layer containing particles
of an opaque light diffusing material dispersed therein and having a convex cross-section.
The first and second light diffusing layers are laminated together such that the
convex and concave surfaces are face to face contact with each other to form a
curved interface therebetween. The first and second light diffusing layers have
a substantially uniform cross-section in one direction. A transmissive screen for
a rear projection display device having a light image source, including the above
light diffusing laminated plate and a lens system disposed such that a light image
from the source is projected through the light diffusing laminated plate and the
lens system and displayed on the screen.
