When building a home theater, screen selection is often more confusing than choosing a projector: Want to hide speakers without sacrificing sound quality? Tired of blurry edges on large screens?

I. Immersive Projection Boom: Screen Demand Behind 2025 Market
The global naked-eye 3D market has exceeded $50 billion in 2025, with China contributing nearly 40% of the share . As a core supporting technology, immersive projection is penetrating from traditional venues to full scenarios. Unlike standardized screens, custom screens have become a necessity in science museums, real estate and other fields through material adaptation, size optimization and environmental integration. A museum saw a 62% increase in exhibit interaction rate after adopting a circular custom screen, confirming the industry logic of “content is king, carrier is foundation”.

1. Core Parameters: Understand Jargon in 3 Minutes
Gain: A “Brightness Magnifier” That Isn’t Better When Higher
Gain measures light reflection capacity (1.0 for perfect diffuser), while half-gain angle (viewing angle when brightness drops to 50% of peak) is more critical:
1.0-1.3 Gain: Ideal for home/meeting rooms, balancing brightness and 160° wide viewing angle
>1.5 Gain: Prone to “bright center, dark corners”, only for small spaces with single viewing spot
Quick formula: Actual brightness = Screen gain × Projector lumens (e.g., 1.1 gain + 1000 lumens = 1100 lumens effect)

Substandard walls: With sockets, paintings, or non-white wallpaper
Pursuing cinema-level effects: Walls can’t solve grayish images or low contrast
Special needs: Outdoor camping, renting a house (no drilling allowed)
