| Folding
screens have a flexible fabric surface that is snapped or
laced to a rigid, four-sided frame. The outer frame of the
screen is a single, jointed piece made of lightweight metal
that unfolds to form a rectangle of a fixed size. A flexible
fabric sheet is then snapped to the frame, and the frame
is mounted on collapsible folding legs. Because the surface
is a stretched fabric, fast-fold screens are extremely flat,
allowing for precision focus of the projected image. These
screens are commonly used with a black skirt and side curtains,
making it look like a portable theater environment. These
foldable setups are capable of much larger image sizes than
