Hi,
Donald Koeleman:

I don't know which one you are referring to, but I know of a front
projection screen that Sony is marketing, which is spectrum
selective to reflect mostly the wavelengths that are emitted by
the projector lamp. Thus it has high reflectivity for the image,
and lower reflectivity for the ambient light. One colleague of mine
thinks that it works only marginally. Another option is to use a
polarized screen, making use of the fact that the light from an LCD
projector is already polarized but ambient light is not.
Rear projection screens are more easy to make black: they use a
lenticular screen to spread the light horizontally, and thus the
light comes out of narrow slits. Then the space between the slits
can be painted black (from the front) with a black matrix. Thus
the transmittivity from the rear is high, and the reflectivity
from the front is low. I think that you can always do tricks like
this if the desired (image) light comes from one point (the lens)
and the undesired (ambient) light comes from all directions.
Greetings,
