For improved rear projection image quality. Draper provides optical grade first surface mirrors. First surface mirrors are frequently used in rear projection systems design to fold the light from the projector, reducing the required depth of the projection area behind the rear screen. Conventional mirrors are not satisfactory for this purpose, because the reflective coating is on the backside of this glass. Under projection, the majority of light is reflected by the reflective coating, and a minority is reflected by the first surface of the mirror, resulting in an objectionable double image.

• Mirrors consist of a 94% reflective optical grade vacuum coating on a 6 mm thick glass substrate. 3 mm or 5 mm thickness optionally available.
• Nine standard sizes ranging from 25" x 40" through 74" x 100", or in any custom size of your choice.
• Sold separately, or with rear screen systems.
• Available with or without factory installed protective frame.

Mirror Stiffening System

Draper also offers a unique and highly effective stiffening system for mirrors with structural and composite reinforcement. Mirror flatness is Larger and cut down sizes available. Increasingly important due to increased resolution and brightness in today’s projectors. Only Draper has developed a stiffening method to assure the flattest large size glass mirror. This system ensures flatness and eliminates pin cushion effect, double imaging and dead spots, resulting in a significantly improved image.
• Mirror Manager, an option for microfine alignment of the reflected image.
• First surface mirrors are delicate and we recommend you use our Mirror Cleaning Kit. Contains cleaning solution, cotton gloves, lint-free cloth and instructions.
• Warranted for one year against defects in materials and workmanship.
