An 18-year-old high school student develops 'Eazeye,' a monitor that reduces eye strain with natural backlighting.



Using a PC, tablet, or smartphone all the time is like looking at a light all the time, which puts a lot of strain on your eyes. In fact, high school student Mr. Huang Rui felt that screen time was not considered at all in his high school life, so he searched for a device or screen that would be easier on the eyes, but was unable to find one, so he created a monitor called ``Eazeye'' himself. I created it.

According to the American Optometric Association, more than half of Americans suffer from symptoms such as dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches.



The likely cause is a harmful 'bright screen.' As a countermeasure, some people may be using glasses that block blue light.



``Eazeye'', invented by Mr. Huang, is the world's first monitor that uses natural light backlight.



Unlike traditional monitors, it uses ambient light as a backlight, reducing the effects of

glare and providing a more natural and comfortable viewing experience.



The back panel unfolds to let in natural light.



Eyes adapt to changing environments, and now so do displays.



Reflective LCDs (RLCDs) are displays that reflect ambient light, but they have the disadvantage of being difficult to see in the dark. Eazeye overcomes that point as well.



Saves 90% on electricity bill compared to regular monitors.



Since it has a built-in LED, it can be used even in dark places.



Mr. Huang said he came up with this idea in 2022. Later, as Mr. Huang's parents ran a metal recycling business in Shenzhen, he was able to consult with experts in LCD technology and monitor manufacturing. Once I realized that my idea was viable, my parents provided funding for the production of a prototype, and the Eazeye prototype was successfully completed. After that, in order to improve Eazeye, Mr. Huang returned from the United States to his hometown, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, during summer vacation, and traveled to a factory in Shenzhen, three hours away, to make improvements.

Eazeye exceeded the target amount of HK$100,000 (approximately 1.9 million yen) in just a few hours when the campaign started on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo. At the time of article creation, we have collected 270,000 Hong Kong dollars (about 5.15 million yen).
