Not all screens are created equal. Some tire your eyes, some sip more power, and some just feel better to work on. This page explains the tech behind Eazeye products in plain language.

By the end, you’ll understand what transflective displays do, why natural backlighting matters, and how we measure energy savings. And if you want the full breakdown, download the Tech Brief below.

Transflective Displays Explained

A transflective display is designed to use ambient light efficiently. It both transmits light (like a backlit LCD) and reflects light (like paper).

In bright environments, the panel reflects surrounding light to stay visible without cranking up LEDs. In darker rooms, it uses built-in LEDs as backup. The result: clear visibility, lower energy use, and less flicker.

If you’ve ever noticed your phone screen wash out in sunlight, you know the problem traditional displays face. Transflective panels solve this by using the light around you instead of fighting it.

Why Backlighting Design Matters

Most LED monitors rely on constant artificial backlight. This causes two common issues:

• Flicker. Rapid pulses of LED light, invisible but fatiguing over time.
• Overexposure. Bright panels in dim rooms push too much artificial light into your eyes.

Eazeye displays flip this model. By prioritizing natural light and only activating LEDs when needed, they reduce flicker exposure and lower strain.

The Energy Math

Energy consumption is simple math: (Wattage × Hours per day × Days per year ÷ 1000) × Cost per kWh.

Traditional monitors: ~40 watts. Eazeye monitors: ~4 watts on average. That’s a 90% reduction in power use.

Multiply that across teams of 20, 50, or 200 people, and the savings are impossible to ignore.

Eazeye vs. Traditional Monitors

Buyers often ask: “How does this compare to what I already have?” Here are three differences:

• Power use: Eazeye monitors average 4 watts vs. 40 watts for standard monitors.
• Comfort: Transflective design adapts to your light environment, reducing artificial exposure.
• Longevity: Lower power draw can extend component life and reduce heat output.
