A high school student imagined Eazeye, a screen using a reflector panel to use ambient light to reduce visual fatigue. Very original, this screen should be marketed soon.

[EN VIDÉO] Moving eyes seen from the inside The exercise for the subject is simple: follow a moving point with your eyes. When he realizes…
Sensations of irritation or tingling, headaches, blurred vision…, with the time we spend in front of computer screens, our eyes get tired. We don’t blink them enough and, when dried out, they become irritated. Likewise, they are constantly exposed to aggressive light from the panel’s backlighting. As for the famous blue light emitted by monitors, wearing glasses to reduce its harmful effects would be of no use, or even worse. The solution ? As with e-readers, there are electronic ink screens. Only natural light is used to bring out the texts and images. But these screens remain dark, the colors are dull. And apart from for office work, the computer is then unusable, particularly for playing videos, for example. In addition, this type of screen remains excessively expensive. Here is an innovation that could be a game-changer. This is the monitor Eazeye. This 24-inch screen is designed to use ambient light, via a reflective panel placed behind the slab.
Ten times less energy consuming than a traditional screen
Apart from the concept, what is also surprising is that this invention was imagined by a high school student of only 17 years old, Louis Huang. The originality comes from the fact that to capture and diffuse ambient light, a reflector panel placed behind the panel tilts. Thus, the screen seems to open like a book. In the evening, or when light is not sufficient, a translucent translucent LED light panel can be deployed. But by positioning the screen under a lamp, the reflector may prove sufficient. As for the colors, we are not at the level of a classic screen, but it is possible to adjust the shades to measure, thanks to a smartphone app. Likewise, the screen resolution remains limited to 1080p, with a maximum refresh rate of 75 HzHz. The screen is therefore intended more for office automation than for multimedia, even if it is capable of displaying videos without ghosting. The other advantage of this screen is that it only consumes 4 W, ten times less than any conventional screen of the same size. And above all, it remains very cheap compared to an electronic ink screen. For the moment, it is offered at $545 on the Indiegogo platform. Currently, the young inventor is only in pre-production versions, but he has raised enough funds to be able to market his screens from the beginning of 2024.
