lcd screen sunglasses brands

Debuting at this year"s Moncler Genius show, MONDOGENIUS, eyewear brand Gentle Monster flaunted a new philosophy that"s ticked fashion"s timely interest. Intrigued by fashion"s rapid acceleration towards a more inclusive digital sphere, Gentle Monster have unveiled their latest design, "Swipe LCD", while looking to connect and interact between human and digital experiences.

The "Swipe LCD" sunglasses are the product of a wider aim, an idea and concept also debuted through MONDOGENIUS" experience, which involved Gentle Monster"s mini-show featuring giant LCD screens swinging above stagnant models who were styled in the collection. The "Swipe LCD" sunglasses, while looking elegantly stylish, are much more high-tech than your regular pair and involve an LCD screen with built-in touch sensors on the left temple, which can be "swiped" to reveal different Moncler + Gentle Monster logos and other motion graphics.

Unlike other head-mounted displays that block the outside world from view, the Moverio displays images onto semi-transparent glass. When the system"s integrated projectors are turned off, the display can double as a less-than-fashionable pair of sunglasses. The system is managed by an Android-powered control module that connects directly to the glasses via two wires. It"s better than connecting to a computer, but not as good as a self-contained unit.

The HMZ T1 features dual 720p OLED displays that mimic a 750-inch screen that"s 65 feet away. To round out the personal theater experience, the headset features 5.1 surround sound audio. The headset attaches to a supplied processor unit that then connects to any device with an HDMI out port. This is not an on-the-go headset. Instead, Sony wants you to sit in your favorite chair and play video games or watch 3D movies without the distractions of text messages, Twitter feeds, and phone calls.

Just tried out a fix for the black-out + polarized glasses problem with the a7iii, i.e. putting on a protective glass on the screen. And voila, it works, to some extend.

The screen is now fully visible, but as with many other things and polarized glasses, the tint of the screen changes with rotation. My suspistion is that the adhesive between the glass and screen diffracts the light from the display to become more scattered (less polarized) thus allowing various colors and light to get through the polarization of the sunglasses.

Might explain why most smartphone screens tend to be reasonably visible (as in, you see visual artifacts but at least it"s not pitch black) with polarized glasses.  Or smartphone manufacturers have taken this phenomenon into account and include QWPs by default.

Turns out that my current phone has an AMOLED not LCD, I could have sworn otherwise, but I"ve definitely had OK results with my glasses and other LCDs.

Known as the sunnies to sport for athletic use (hiking, boating and the like), most people who typically wear prescription glasses can benefit from a solid pair of polarized sunglasses. Similar to how UPF-protective clothing and sunscreen help bask off harmful UV rays, so is the case with these sunglasses, as they help control the amount of reflected light hitting your eyes.

We turned to a board-certified optometrist who explained what to look for in the best polarized sunglasses and also pulled the top styles to shop for this season.

Now, many polarized sunglasses exist on the market, including frames from GlassesUSA, RAEN and even Dick’s Sporting Goods. Many of our favorites are unisex, too.

From the company that started the polarized sunglasses trend hands-on, Ray-Ban is offering the Erika Polarized Sunglasses for less than $200. Wonderfully, the nosepiece isn’t too thick (which is perfect for avoiding foundation makeup from transferring) and we love its simplistic, match-all design.

If you’re tired of your old black shades, step up the game with RAEN’s Wiley Square Sunglasses. The pair has a handsomely crafted black-and-brown design, along with sturdy temples and sharp look.

Shop one of Dick’s Sporting Goods’ top sellers: Oakley’s Holbrook Polarized Sunglasses. With a sportier look and feel, they have a coveted lightweight frame with different types of polarized lenses to choose from. Plus, they also come in a blue tone.

Don’t pass up the classic aviators this season. Coach’s Polarized Sunglasses are a great score for the season. With a slim nature and gold-toned hues, they’re chic and classy (especially when paired with a designer clutch and new pair of shorts).

If Audrey Hepburn and Kate Middleton had a sunglasses collab, it would look a little something like RAEN’s Norie Cat-EYe Sunglasses. Not only do they have that tortoiseshell look (that won’t go out of style, BTW), but the frames are rounded to suit any face shape.

If we’re being honest, QUAY has some of the sweetest shades in its repertoire. Namely, its Sweet Dreams Polarized Sunglasses are less than $100 (in other words, add to your cart now) and its thin nosepiece band will provide lightweight support in warmer temps.

Blenders Eyewear has the surfer-inspired, cool blue polarized sunglasses we’ve all been waiting for. Its Surfliner Polarized Sunglasses are budget-friendly, add a touch of vibrancy to your summertime look and look great on anyone. They’re a lovely unisex option, too.

Give your eyes the clarity and protection they need without the high ticket price. Foster Grant’s Marli Polarized Sunglasses are some of our favorites on this list (and ones we recommend IRL), so pick up this moody tortoiseshell pair while you still can.

If athletic polarized sunglasses are more your speed, you’ll love Nike’s Trainer Polarized Sunglasses. They’re the perfect blend of quality and affordability, too, and they’re apt for sports and basking in the sun’s rays all the same.

Elevate your look tenfold with Michael Kors’ Anaheim Polarized Sunglasses. These on-trend, oversized sunglasses will look dynamite with your best bikini and cover-up this season, undeniably, and they’re conveniently on sale right now.

Though great for a variety of purposes, you don’t want to wear polarized sunnies all the time. Since these lenses will interfere with LCD (liquid crystal displays), they’re not recommended for airline pilots or heavy equipment users that utilized LCD instruments or screens.

So, the lens is tinted to absorb visible light. “Outdoor sunglasses are designed to absorb up to 85% of visible light,” she adds. “We need to let some light through for safe mobility.”

However, use caution whenever digital displays are used in sports. “Some cycling handlebar displays are not compatible with polarization,” Hoff says. “Also, due to decreased depth perception with polarized lenses, avoid polarized sunglasses with ball sports such as baseball and tennis, and mountain bike riding.”

Interestingly enough, “polarized sunglasses block out a significant amount of light and studies show they do not help with night driving glare,” Hoff adds. “They can actually be harmful because in low light conditions too much light is blocked reducing acuity and contrast to unsafe levels for driving.”

The sun is returning for another bright summer, which means it’s time to relax and read by the pool. So you pull out your phone, don your shades, and…you can’t see a thing on the screen. What gives?

This annoying phenomenon happens with all kinds of electronics, including phones, tablets, and computer monitors. Even with the brightness cranked up, the display appears dark, purple, or in some cases, completely black when you wear sunglasses. The culprit? Polarizing filters.

You’ve probably heard of polarized sunglasses before, but to solve the problem, it’s important to understand why this “black screen” phenomenon occurs when you’re wearing them. (Don’t care about the science? Skip to the end of this article for the quick fix.)

Polarizing filters absorb light waves that vibrate along a certain axis. In the case of polarizing sunglasses, they absorb the horizontally-vibrating waves. That means that only vertically-vibrating waves get through the filter and reach your eye. This reduces the intensity of reflective glare without blocking too much of the surrounding light.

Polarized lenses don’t just cut down on glare; they also protect the long-term health of your eyes. “Everyone should be wearing polarized sunglasses for maximum eye protection from UVA/UVB rays,” says Purnima S. Patel, clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Your gadgets contain polarizing filters, too. “These LCD screens are polarized to reduce glare, especially in bright sunlight—but so are sunglasses,” Patel says. “When the filters for the screen and sunglasses align in opposite directions, the light emanating from the screen with be cut out.” In other words, if the screen emits horizontally-vibrating light, and your sunglasses block all except vertically-vibrating light, no photons will get through and you’ll be stuck with a dark or entirely black image.

Thankfully, there’s an easy fix: Turn the screen 90 degrees in either direction. This will align the polarizing filter on your screen with the one on your sunglasses, and the light from your screen will be able to pass through to your eyes.

Polaroid is suffering from its inability to adapt its old-school brand to technology. Lady Gaga seems to suffer from the opposite, based on the wacky costumes that populate each and every performance or appearance. She became their creative director last summer. The result is three items recently unveiled at CES 2011: a digital Polaroid camera, a USB/Bluetooth “ZINK” (Zero-Ink, the technology Polaroid use) portable printer, and, finally, these sunglasses:

What’s revolutionary about them is their display. On each lens, or should I say, on each side of the nosepiece, since the frame is all very fluid, is a tiny LCD screen, showing images taken by the camera itself.

The sunglasses remind us that eyewear not only changes your view of the world, but affects how other people see you. Your eyes tell. These sunglasses are really only a skip and a jump from the ridiculously-shaped or colored glasses that some wear. They were in fact, inspired, by Lady Gaga’s iPod glasses she once wore for a performance.

Will they catch on? My first instinct is, no. They appear bulky and impractical for actually wearing. Plus, these first editions are typically more expensive than what the average consumer is willing to pay. However, if Lady Gaga can influence technology as much as she influences music, it won’t surprise me to see affordable sunglasses with customizable images populating the marketplace after the originals launch.

Polarized sunglasses may make it easier and more comfortable to see outdoors, but wearing them while trying to read an LCD (liquid-crystal display) screen can sometimes — literally — leave your eyes in the dark.

Most LCDs, such as your smartphone and tablet, use a polarizing filter to help you see the screen in bright sunlight. But so do polarized sunglasses, meaning the two essentially cancel each other out, causing your LCD screen to appear dark or completely black when you look at it.

Polarized sunglasses are designed to block glare — overly bright light reflected off shiny surfaces such as water and snow. Natural light consists of protons bouncing in many directions; polarized lenses filter that light, causing those protons to travel in a single, uniform direction (usually horizontal).

LCD screens and sunglasses typically contain a polarizing filter for the same reason: to make it easier for you to see clearly, especially in bright sunlight.

What tends to happen is your polarized sunglasses do their job by only allowing light to pass through vertically. Meanwhile, your phone screen emits horizontally vibrating light while blocking vertical light.

Your lenses and screen end up counteracting each other by working in opposite directions. As a result, you wind up seeing a dark or blacked-out image.

The solution is simple: Rotate your tablet or phone screen by 90 degrees. This trick usually works because it positions your screen’s polarizing filters so they block light waves traveling in the same direction as your polarized sunglasses, allowing light to pass through.

Newer smartphone and computer screens have found ways to compensate for this issue, but you may still notice a darker screen when wearing polarized sunglasses with an older model screen.

In some cases, you may need to view LCDs on an instrument panel that can’t be rotated. This can be true for boaters and pilots who must be able to read instrumentation quickly and accurately to ensure their safety. For this reason, you should avoid wearing polarized sunglasses in these circumstances.

Polarized lenses also can interfere with your ability to see and read the displays on gas pumps and ATMs. To see more clearly when filling your tank or withdrawing money, remove your sunglasses when performing these tasks.

Any reputable eyewear retailer (brick-and-mortar store or online shop) will provide accurate labeling on sunglasses they offer, so you should be able to tell at a glance whether those sunglasses you’re considering have polarized lenses.

Hold the sunglasses in a way that allows you to look through both pairs of lenses at the same time. Rotate one pair of sunglasses by 90 degrees. If all light is blocked when passing through both pairs, then your older sunglasses probably have polarized lenses.

You also can test your sunglasses by looking at an LCD screen while wearing them. Just remember to rotate the device 90 degrees to make sure you’re checking for a polarizing filter that blocks light traveling either horizontally or vertically.

With the items around us getting smarter — from phones to appliances to the power grid — researchers at Mount Lebanon-based Dynamic Eye want to add one more product to the list: Sunglasses.

The company is taking its research, developed through military contracts, and working on a way to apply it to the consumer sunglasses market with a product that will use liquid crystal display technology to block the blinding glare encountered while driving or otherwise looking into the sun.

“With LCD, what they do is they modulate the intensity of the light going through them. And it doesn’t take much power,” making it conceivable for use in sunglasses, said Dynamic Eye CEO Chris Mullin.

Using his background in physics — Mullin has a doctorate from the University of California Berkeley and has conducted background research in table top optics and how light interacts with materials — he knew he could do it. “Our concept is when there is no glare, it’s just a pair of sunglasses,” he said.

Dynamic Eye has worked through four prototypes of its technology, which replaces regular polarized sunglass lenses with polarized LCD lenses. The system includes a small pinhole camera and an even smaller chip to drive the liquid crystal, which will activate when glare is detected and block just the areas of glare while leaving the rest of the display clear. The prototypes use traditional glass LCD, but the company is developing an LCD that uses plastic instead of glass to enclose the liquid crystal, since plastic is a more flexible material.

“We are not changing the function,” he said, of why he thought LCD would be able to solve the problem of glare. “But electronics are so cheap and flexible that it can do things that couldn’t be done before.

The glasses aren’t quite fashion-ready yet, Mullin acknowledged — the current prototype resembles extra thick Buddy Holly glasses, but they are not out of the realm of hipster chic — and he is not done shrinking the technology. He sees great potential in possibly partnering with existing sunglasses companies to incorporate his technology into their design.

Professor Deng-Ke Yang in the Liquid Crystal Institute at Kent State University, a hub of liquid crystal research, isn’t surprised by the idea of LCD in sunglasses since it’s a growing marketplace.

“You can see from all the electronics,” he said. “And everybody is buying LCD; it’s used in telephones and computers, it’s almost the dominant (technology) in the display area and also it has a bright future in photonic applications like sunglasses.”

The area of research has been around for 40 years, but it’s only in the past 20 years that it has been booming. The reason: LCD with its flat panel is less bulky, and LCD takes less energy to run.

Yang said that he could also envision the technology used in architecture and even fashion. Imagine a purse made of LCD that can change to match every outfit, he joked.

The cost to produce LCDs has also come down as more and more televisions and computer monitors use the technology, said Shawn DuBravac, director of research for the Consumer Electronics Association. When this happens, it usually leads to broader consumer uses.

“As displays get cheaper and you get economies of scale in manufacturing and prices go down, price declines are always passed on to the consumer,” he said, offering the decline in TV prices as an example. This affordability also leads to placing LCDs in more devices.

In fact, DuBravac said he was looking at newly released ski goggles from Zeal Optics that had a small LCD embedded in the goggle to display GPS and other data. According to the Zeal Optics website, the goggles sell for $399 and are currently sold out.

He also has received some interest from existing sunglasses companies and has started preliminary discussions, but declined to say with whom. He is hoping those talks can provide the market research needed to secure other investors or a strategic partner.

We eliminated the $50 Blenders Midnight Zone (no longer available) sunglasses because of their ugly labeling (“BLENDERS” is printed across the sides of the arms in a large font) and tacky marble design. Although the bright aesthetic of the Blenders Sydney pair works for Wayfarer-style sunglasses, it looks strange on a pair of aviators.

The retro ZeroUV 6119 sunglasses have huge plastic arms and thick frames reminiscent of something out of a college frat party. And unlike every other aviator pair we tested, these ZeroUV sunglasses don’t have any padding around the nose, so they’re less comfortable to wear.

Everyone who tested the Knockaround Mile Highs said the lenses drooped too low and made them look as if they were trying to cover bags under their eyes. Another panelist noted that the arms felt loose. Although I personally liked the look (because I am constantly trying to hide the bags under my eyes), we agreed that for most people, the J+S Classic Aviator pair or the Kent Wang Aviator sunglasses offer a better look and better construction.

Of all the sunglasses we tested, the polarized Luenx Aviator Sunglasses felt the cheapest (while actually being on the pricier side), and we worried about breaking them after just a bit of light use. They come with a number of accessories, though, namely a chunky, soft-shell case plus a cleaning cloth and a storage pouch.

For the most part, the Sunglass Warehouse Vista (no longer available) sunglasses look like every other pair of aviators we tested. But reviewers on Sunglass Warehouse’s site comment that the shades scratch easily—something that we noticed during testing, too. And one lens has “POLARIZED” printed on it, which is hideous.

Thomas James LA’s Cruise (no longer available) sunglasses were a little too large on my face—and I have a big face—and they felt like they would break easily. Although their color pattern was interesting (black and darker black on the lenses, and a silver coating on the frame), that wasn’t enough of a reason for this expensive pair of sunglasses to earn a recommendation.

The Sungait Oversized Vintage Polarized Cat Eye Sunglasses looked peculiar compared with the more traditionally shaped Sunski Camina sunglasses that we recommend for cat-eye wearers. Staff writer Dorie Chevlen put it best, saying they were much too big for serious consideration.

EyeBuyDirect’s Calypso pair was a little too delicate compared with its cat-eye competition. These sunglasses lacked the angles, points, and curves of the others we tested and loved.

The Thomas James LA Tart and Thomas James LA JJ sunglasses felt smooth against our ears, and they seemed properly constructed. But their thick frames were much more pronounced than those of our other cat-eye picks, and they’re less appealing overall than the EyeBuyDirect Cartel and Lulu sunglasses.

We tested the Quay Blueprint sunglasses in the hope of unearthing why Quay’s advertisements kept targeting us. Unfortunately, the ads were doing the heavy lifting. In testing, the Blueprint sunglasses felt cheap; their arms were stiff and extremely difficult to pull apart. The plastic felt light and hollow. The company’s website is also confusing. On one page, Quay says that its warranty for manufacturing defects is three months long; on another page, it claims that its warranty for manufacturing defects is 12 months. Finally, Quay seems intent on telling you how Australian it is. But its sunglasses’ arms say “Made in China.”

The Goodr Circle Gs are a matte option that we liked during testing. But they were tight around my face and sat higher on my nose than other round sunglasses I tested, so they were not as comfortable or as attractive as the round-sunglasses competition.

Similar to the Goodr Circle Gs, the Sunglass Warehouse Cash (no longer available) sunglasses were tight around my temples, and we all found this pair to be uncomfortable in the few weeks we spent testing them. The Cash’s arms were stiff, too, and we didn’t like the black and tortoise design, which starts as black on top and then fades into a tortoiseshell pattern.

The Sunski Dipsea sunglasses have good lenses, but overall they’re not as good as the Kent Wang Keyhole sunglasses we recommend. On the outside of the arms, the Dipsea pair features unsubtle white circles containing the brand name. Although we like the idea behind Sunski’s recycled plastic, the Dipsea pair we tested was uncomfortable, and we preferred the Keyhole’s cellulose acetate material instead.

The Hawkers Black Gradient Moma sunglasses were a little small for our faces, so even though they may protect your eyes from the sun, you’ll look like a beetle in the process.

In our panel testing, the Knockaround Mai Tais earned perfectly average marks. Wirecutter"s Nick Guy said they were “nice and light, with an attractive shape and good plastic quality.” Nick continued: “The tapering makes them look like cat-eye sunglasses—which I wouldn’t wear—although they’re not quite there.” We ultimately decided that the Sungait glasses were a better buy for anyone who wants a round pair.

Sunglass Warehouse’s Phillips (no longer available) is a fine pair of UV-protected, polarized sunglasses, but it didn’t look as good on our faces as other options. The metal bridge across the nose has a few distinctive ridges that draw attention away from the shades; we preferred the Sungait and Kent Wang round frames instead.

The gold frames on the Thomas James LA Fame sunglasses looked cheap compared with the frames on the other sunglasses we tested, and the glasses felt less sturdy than the competition.

The ZeroUV 6105 sunglasses sat higher on our faces than other Wayfarer-style pairs; they covered our eyebrows, which honestly just made us look stupid. We also had more difficulty opening and closing the arms.

Like the ZeroUV 6105 pair, the Sunglass Warehouse Drifter (no longer available) sunglasses had arms that were difficult to open and close and that often got stuck in place. Although the Drifter glasses looked good in our testing, the coloring was closer to an angry red tortoiseshell than the traditional orange color you may be used to in tortoiseshell patterns. The Drifter sunglasses do not come with a case or a warranty, either.

We decided not to give a nod to the Shady Rays Classic Original sunglasses in polarized tortoiseshell mostly because of their branding: The name of the company is written in all caps on the glasses’ arms, and the right-eye lens has an “S|R” (for “Shady Rays”) imprint. The constant written reminder of the company’s name feels juvenile, and we wouldn’t want to wear these sunglasses anywhere nice. The company has a lovely mission: When you buy a pair of its sunglasses, Shady Rays donates 10 meals to fight hunger in the US. But we can’t get past the branding.

Foster Grant’s Hugo sunglasses are a bit wider than the others in this category and a little shorter in height. Although they are UV-protected and polarized, we don’t think they are big enough to cover most people’s faces comfortably.

Goodr’s BFGs frames are thicker than the company’s Wayfarer-style The OGs. If you’re looking for a bigger pair of sunglasses, with a glossier, grayer coloring, the BFGs are a great choice, but we think most people will like Goodr’s The OGs better.

The Knockaround Premiums have plastic hinges, and we worried about breaking them when extending the arms outward to test the glasses’ flexibility. This pair was also less comfortable than our picks in testing. Although these glasses are nice to look at, they didn’t perform as well as our top picks in practice. However, Knockaround has a wide variety of sunglasses to choose from, and you can even build your own sunglasses—exactly how you like them—which is extremely cool.

The Polarspex Polarized Classic Sunglasses were squeaky to open and close despite their metal hinges. We easily scratched the sunglasses during durability testing, and they came bundled with a fabric case that was heavier and stiffer than the included microfiber cases for most other pairs.

But what if we told you that times are changing, technology has advanced, and you now have the option of choosing a pair of cockpit-friendly, digital-device compatible polarized sunglasses?

Wouldn’t it simplify things if you could just wear your everyday Terra firma shades up into the wild blue yonder?  No more remembering to pack a separate pair of sunglasses and to switch to them for flight.

Today we will share exciting news about a visionary sunglasses brand that has brought polarized lenses to everywhere from the golf course to the ocean and now – to the cockpit.

The lenses of polarized sunglasses have a special laminated filter that blocks much of this powerfully magnified horizonal reflection and allows just the vertical light through.

A byproduct of the filtering is that it often makes it more difficult – if not nearly impossible – to read LED and LCD screens on devices like cell phones, tablets or instrument panels.

Phones, tablets, LCD/LED instrument displays – all the screens in the cockpit can still be easily viewed and read while wearing Revo polarized glasses.
