However, video images can be distracting or entertaining to other drivers, and could potentially promote tailgating. Using patented DEFENSCREEN technology, a window attachment (like a transparent child sunscreen) can selectively obscure display images without blocking driver visibility. This can reduce distraction, and present privacy enhancement and "lose the tailgater" benefits for enhanced driving comfort and safety. The same configuration can also reduce display washout due to sunlight glare, improving display visibility for passengers - a multi-faceted enhancement! DEFENSCREEN compatibility may be added to windows by automobile owners using a window attachment (like a transparent child sunscreen). It may be added to displays by manufacturers or enhancement integrators using add-on laminates. ▪ Road Safety Enhancement* ▪ Display Privacy Enhancement ▪ Sunlight Readability Enhancement Display Privacy, Road Safety*: The below image illustrates privacy enhancement in an automotive example. This is evident when a DEFENSCREEN compatible display is viewed through a DEFENSCREEN compatible window area. The transparent window filters the display light selectively using patented elliptical polarization techniques to achieve alignment flexibility and maintain compatibility with common polarized eyewear. This fills feature gaps of other enhancement technologies by providing unique over-the-shoulder visibility control not offered by other technologies. Such enhancement can benefit office, bank displays, police vehicle displays, automotive displays and others. Without DEFENSCREEN Technology With DEFENSCREEN Technology Left half of window includes only a common 50% tint. Right half of window includes DEFENSCREEN compatibility. * Road safety enhancement is presumed and supporting research has not yet been performed. Sunlight Readability: The below image illustrates sunlight readability enhancement in an automotive example. This is evident when sunlight is cast on a DEFENSCREEN compatible display through a DEFENSCREEN compatible window area. The display surface filters the sunlight selectively using patented elliptical polarization techniques to achieve alignment flexibility and maintain compatibility with common polarized eyewear. This fills feature gaps of other enhancement technologies by filtering sunlight before it reaches internal display elements that can reflect to cause washout. Such enhancement can benefit office, bank displays, automotive displays, naval, avionics displays and others. Without DEFENSCREEN Technology With DEFENSCREEN Technology Left half of window includes only a common 50% tint. Right half of window includes DEFENSCREEN compatibility.
