Claim:
A method for coupling screen panels over an opening of a chassis housing components of a rear projection display system, the method comprising: providing a lenticular layer panel having properties for enabling a wider viewing angle; providing a Fresnel layer panel having properties for steering incident light beams in a direction normal to the lenticular layer panel; bonding a marginal edge portion of an inward surface of the Fresnel layer panel to an outwardly facing first portion of a hidden bezel of a frame of the chassis defining the opening, using double-sided adhesive tape; and bonding a marginal edge portion of an inward surface of the lenticular layer panel to one of: a) a corresponding marginal edge portion of an outward surface of the Fresnel layer panel, or b) to an outwardly facing second portion of the hidden bezel, using double-sided adhesive tape; wherein the bonding secures the Fresnel and lenticular layer panels over the opening with no part of the frame or chassis extending over the outward surface of either panel.
