Eyesight Protection

Studies have shown that, similar to ultra-violet (UV) light waves, long-term exposure to blue light may lead to retinal damage and a permanent loss of vision in the center of the eye – a condition known as macular degeneration. Commonly referred to as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) due to the fact that it is usually found in older adults, the prevalence of the disease is on the rise. Some experts believe it could take on aspects of an epidemic as people spend more and more time gazing at LED-backlit computer screens.

One manufacturer has developed a solution that reduces exposure by 90 percent without the use of filters, dimmers, or color distortion. By shifting the peak wavelength of the LED backlight from 450 nanometers to 460 nanometers, the blue light emissions move out of the harmful range without compromising display quality.

The patented Anti-Blue Light technology will be available in AOC 76V Series displays.
