Projection type image display apparatus

Abstract

A screen is hung from a screen frame with hanging members bonded to the upper side of a front sheet. Supporting members are disposed on the lower side of the front sheet and, by mounting a Fresnel lens sheet on the supporting members, a tension is given by its weight to the front sheet in the vertical direction. Further, a tension in the horizontal direction is given to the front sheet. Long holes are so formed in the hanging members that the hanging members on the right and left sides of the screen by expansion or contraction of the screen are made greater in the extent of shifting in the horizontal direction than the hanging member in the central part.
