Philips Monitor Uses Circularly Polarized Light

Why this is here: The Philips Natural-Eyecare monitor cuts harmful shortwave blue light with a ratio less than 50% in the 415-455 nm to 400-500nm range.

Philips released a new business monitor in APAC markets engineered with circularly polarized light. The monitors aim to reduce eye strain by mimicking natural sunlight, unlike typical LCD displays that emit linear polarized light. TÜV Rheinland tested and certified the technology.

The monitors also integrate SoftBlue technologies—including low blue light panels and flicker-free screens—to further protect eyes during extended use. Philips reports these features cut harmful shortwave blue light while maintaining color accuracy. The 27B2N3500G model features QHD resolution and a 1500:1 contrast ratio for clear image detail.

These monitors prioritize sustainability with EnergyStar 8.0, RoHS, and EPEAT certifications. Packaging is fully recyclable, and the monitors use 85% post-consumer recycled plastic. Further research may explore long-term effects and broader adoption across different display types.
