There is nothing in that patent or article that says anything about needing special glasses to view the display.
Nor will that ever happen. Ever. Aside from special effects like 3-D. Last edited by OtterBooks; 06-26-2011 at 03:16 AM. |

This new patent is about a filter placed in front of the screen that will turn the linearly polarized light emitted by the screen into circularly polarized light that can be viewed through polarized sunglasses at all angles. The result of this will be that you can still use the future ipad without glasses if you are indoors, but you will need glasses if you want to use it outside. |

We've been having some fun with this, but... if you're outside reading in bright sunlight the chances are that you'd be wearing sunglasses anyway... or at least wishing you were.
So maybe not such a bad idea after all. Graham |

So what exactly is the patent for? There are already polarized LCD screens on the market - I have one on my laptop and that's what passive 3D TVs have.

Well, obviously vision requirements vary. But a tablet designed to need glasses to be used is silly. Even if you want to see 3D on a tablet, the way that you hold the tablet is constrained enough that you should be able to use glasses-free 3D technology (a la Nintendo 3DS).

Otherwise you can just get a polarized anti-glare screen protector. But then you definitely can't wear polarized sunglasses. I'm getting dizzy. |

Folks. If you have an iDevice now, you will know that when wearing polarized sunglasses, the iDevice screens look blank. This appears to be a solution to let you wear your sunglasses and still be able to read on your iDevice.

Gotcha. But if you're inside, and not wearing sunglasses, will you get the same reading experience?
