Lenticular Screen Views

General Goods

Big screen (rear projection) televisions have a screen called a Lenticular screen. It is no more than a piece of lenticular plastic cut to certain dimensions. (Lenticular is the ridged plastic put over some baseball cards that give them the appearance of movement when the card is rotated.) Many different companies such as Sony, RCA, Toshiba, Magnavox, Mitsubishi, etc, order a certain variety of lenticular plastic for the screens on their TV

Hummer, Thanks for your help! Unfortunatly the companies that you mention do about the same thing we do. They sell lenticular screens that are already precut by the manufacturers for specific makes and models of television. Actually, one of the companies mentioned is our current screen supplier. I am looking for the lenticular material that the screens are cut from. I have been told that you can purchase them in 4ft by 8ft sheets. I just canq't find out where! Thanks again, Stan

Bobbie7, Depthography says he can 't do it. He just does the lenticular advertising products and that the lenticular screens are slightly different. He did say he gets calls like mine all the time. LPC Europe will not respond to my emails. I really wish they would because it seems like they might be able to help. That is where I am at now. If I hear from LPC Europe I will let you know. Thanks, Stan

To understand how it works, it is important to understand the lenticular itself. The sheets are made of transparent plastic and act as a screen over the image. The side that will be printed on is smooth, while the other side features cylindrical rows of tiny lenticules evenly sized and spaced along the screen.
