theater screen

Cinema's bright canvas

A theater screen is the large surface in a cinema or auditorium onto which films or presentations are projected.

The term distinguishes the venue's screen from smaller displays: The movie looks completely different on a theater screen than on your phone.

Theater screens are typically wide, white, and slightly curved to optimize viewing from multiple angles.
