In what could be a major relief to computer users, Microsoft has come up with a screen that will allow only users looking straight at it to view the display contents. Often, when you are computing in public – whether on laptops, tablets or smartphones, you have people looking at your gadgets’ screen. That is not comfortable to everyone.
To prevent others from looking at what you are doing, Microsoft has designed a display that will not show anything “sensible” to people looking at the screen from angles different from 0 degrees. The new private display was uncovered by Patently Mobile when it followed Microsoft’s attempt to patent the display screen.
