Rain Technology announced a new technology, called OLED Switchable Privacy, that is designed to protect OLED displays. Rain Technology says that its privacy technology already shipped in millions of LCD laptops and other displays, and is now ready for OLED displays for the first time.
OLED Switchable Privacy is embedded in the display panel smartphones, tablets or laptops, directing and controlling light from the display, thus allowing enterprises, consumers and application developers to hone unprecedented levels of automated visual security.
The technology is electronically switchable, which means that users can control when the display emits on a wide angle, or for their eyes only. It is based on a thin embedded proprietary layer within the OLED display module, that directs and controls the light coming out of the display. The technology can enable as little as 0.3% screen visibility from a 45° viewing angle.
