AOC technology will reduce the harm of monitors to vision

19.09.2014

Renowned display manufacturer AOC has unveiled a new technology that protects users' eyesight from the harmful effects of blue light from their LED-backlit screen. The developers have already filed an application for a patent registration of their invention, which received the uncomplicated name Anti-Blue Light (ABL).

Thanks to the new technology, the peak value of the wavelength emitted by the backlight has been increased from 450 to 460 nm. According to the AOC, even such a slight change allows the blue component to be taken out of the "dangerous" range. The "dangerous" range is considered to be wavelengths from 380 to 450 nm. When working for a long time at the monitor, they have a detrimental effect on vision.

Despite the reduction in backlight intensity, overall image quality does not suffer when using this technology. The technology does not use any additional filters and software, and the suppression of "dangerous" waves does not lead to color imbalance. AOC plans to introduce its new product to the 76V Series monitors.

It remains to wait for the development details in order to understand how it is better than other solutions. For example, the Philips SoftBlue monitors presented at IFA 2014 also protect viewers from "harmful" radiation and, like in AOC ABL, everything here is done at the level of the LED backlight controller. There are other examples of implementation.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

The mobile phone controls the computer 22.08.2002

The Japanese branch of IBM has released software that can be used to control a personal computer from a mobile phone.

The PC desktop image is transferred to the phone. The phone's display shows a part of the phone that you can scroll through. The phone's keys simulate mouse clicks and other actions.

The phone running this software must be connected to the i-Appli service (based on i-mode).
