About Barco’s large screens

When watching a projected image, you are never watching the projector directly – you are watching the screen. So why would you give this screen less attention than the projector itself?

While most manufacturers offer the same screens for all markets, Barco has thoroughly investigated the specific needs for virtual reality applications and immersive environments. With a comprehensive portfolio unique in the market and custom-built capabilities, you are sure to find something to your liking for all your projects.

Always the best screen possible

Material types

Based on different types of base material, Barco offers four different screen types.

Multi-layer safety glass screens for highest rigidity and perfect flatness for ultimate viewing experience
Rigid acrylic screens that combine very good flatness with a lower weight
Semi-rigid screens which can be used in cylindrical setups or rolled up for easy transportation and installation
RigiFlex: a very rigid screen made from thin, light-weight material, shipped on a roll, and specially designed to bring into any room.

Every material has a set of specific advantages, and we add the needed quality to ensure you get the best screen possible, providing excellent hardness, high resistance for UV-radiation, and cleaning possibilities.

Coatings

Our propietary coatings are unique in the market as they combine very high durability with immaculate image quality. Completely developed, manufactured and owned by Barco, these coatings for enable customers to make their system really stand out.

High contrast coatings bring you the best ambient contrast available on the market.
High brightness coating gives you the choice of preserving more brightness.
The laser coating has been optimized to be combined with RGB laser projection by delivering speckle elimination and the best uniformity you have ever seen.

Sizes

Visualization systems are often very big, requiring large screen formats. Many manufacturers cannot comply to this demand, and need to deliver the large surface in multiple parts. Our screens have configurable dimensions. Depending on the chosen screen material, sizes of up to 10 m (32.8 ft) on 3.2 m (10.5 ft) are possible, creating the perfect seamless canvas for your project.
