A portable projection surface designed for easy storage and setup, this type of screen typically consists of a flexible material that can be rolled around a tube. This design allows the screen to be compactly stored when not in use and easily deployed for presentations, movies, or other visual displays. A common example includes a manually operated screen with a pull-down mechanism and retractable legs.
The portability and space-saving nature of these screens make them invaluable for various settings, from classrooms and conference rooms to home theaters and outdoor events. Their convenience contributes significantly to the increasing popularity of mobile presentations and impromptu entertainment setups. Historically, larger, fixed screens were the norm, limiting the possibilities for flexible viewing locations. This type of screen allows for greater adaptability and has played a role in the democratization of visual media consumption and presentation.
