First active projector screen?!

Look what I've found

The Russian company called 3D-Tek introduced in 2011 a new technology called "interpolating screen" ("optorealistic screen"). The screen does not just reflect a projecting image but transforms it optically in multiple layers from which the screen is composed. As I understood there're some lenses and phosphors inside. So, what does it do?
- Completely eliminates pixel grid while maintaining image detal (and actually increasing it 4x times)
- Blacks look completely black
- Phosphors help to eliminate rainbow effect for DLP projectors
- Very high contrast under illumination

Sounds too good to be true, right? There're no reviews whatsoever and very little info on specs (gain, viewing angles etc.). Also it is stated that a projector must meet very specific requirements. The details are scarce.
So I'm going to go and see this screen in person soon. I will post my experience.

Here's another translated article: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=ru&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftime-innov.ru%2Fpage%2Fjurnal%2F2012-7%2Frubric%2F25%2Farticle%2F123

The only video of this screen I could find: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSbRD9tNV30

Do they remove the pixel grid and rainbow effect too?

It seems you didn't read the artice. But trust me, I'm not a believer until I verify it myself.

I'm going to see it on 10th of November. Stay tuned for an extensive report with photos.

Sorry for the wait. I've seen it in person. Yep, it's all true First, some photos.

Exterior (the photo in the post above actually shows better the texture, but my photo shows the reflection type - it does a great job at dealing with ambient lighting)


Black levels comparison against plain A4


Interpolation in the works...




Let me tell you guys, it may not look impressive in photos but the sensation of when you're standing 1 meter away from a 2 meter wide screen and not seeing any pixel structure is really refreshing.
The projector was Optoma GT750, by the way. The one with poor black levels and 2x color wheel, you know. The blacks were true blacks... I'm not even sure JVC could match that on a normal screen. And I didn't see any RBE either... (and I'm very susceptible to RBE, I can see it on BenQ W7000 in dynamic mode)
Ah, this rare moment when I feel lucky to live in Russia

Where did you get this idea? BD and DNP is much more expensive (at least here in Russia). I'm sure when this screen will be ready to hit the US market the price will be competitive. But I think it's wrong to put other projector screens in the same league as this screen because it is something entirely different. It's something in between a projection surface and a direct-view panel... with unique properties I already stated.

The screen I saw wasn't SPACE series, but AERO series. AERO 2300 (104") is 95000 RUR. You convert this to USD yourself.
If I were a Screen Innovations entrepreneur I'd be more cautious. You're trying very hard to make BD look more attractive even though you haven't seen the new screen and your only argument is price (obviously). This is beyond suspicious, this screams "I'm a sales guy". Let's look closely at your arguments (besides the price, I already responded to that). First laser PJ (no LEDs) will be RED Laser Projector and it will be around $10000 without lens. People who saw the prototype model say the contrast was sub-par. Other few 1080p models of laser-LED projectors which're available now indeed have higher contrast than lamp-based but not enough to produce deepest blacks indiscernible from the blackness of the room. Even JVCs with their native 30000:1 contrast can't do that. As for RBE, it's dramatically less sure. Less enough not to be an issue for most people. But you still can see RBE on them if you try hard. Interpolating screen defeats RBE as a class. There's a big difference between that, in my opinion. For 3D you may want to sit as close to the screen as you can (90° FOV in 3D is a very immersive experience). But SDE (screen door effect) interferes with the enjoyment of seating too close on normal screens. And when you see pixels you can't be tricked that what you see isn't a computer image. And how can you say that without seeing the thing? Well, let's see...
- you don't need an expensive projector because you don't need high speed color wheels or dynamic irises
- good-bye RBE
- no sparkling, no hot-spotting
