  Projection screen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Projection screens may be permanently installed as in a movie theater, painted on the wall[2], semi-permanent or mobile, as in a conference room or other non-dedicated viewing space.
Uniformly white or grey screens are used almost exclusively as to avoid any discoloration to the image, while the most desired brightness of the screen depends on a number of variables, such as the ambient light level and the luminous power of the image source.
Screens with high gain also have a narrower usable viewing angle, as the amount of reflected light rapidly decreases as the viewer moves away from front of such screen.
