NEC unveils new LCD technology For those who hate folks watching over your shoulder while you’re working, chances are you’ll be thankful that NEC has developed a new kind of LCD technology that allows users to switch between wide and narrow viewing angles on-the-fly without affecting the brightness and sharpness of the image. This is made possible courtesy of a polarizing plate at the back of the new panel that disperses light across either 140 degrees or 30 degrees - something older methods could not achieve without impacting the picture negatively. Currently, such technology allows only two possible fields of vision, and NEC hopes to be more flexible with future iterations.
