Automatic brightness control
Lately we have started to see displays with automatic brightness control on the market. What is this feature and what is the benefit of it for the user and the environment?
A sensor on the display measures the ambient light in the room and adjusts the brightness of the display to a comfortable level. While working in a normal office room during the day the ambient light in the room may be very high. To maintain readability and visual quality the display automatically increase the brightness under these conditions. As the sun get less strong at the end of the day the display gradually reduce the brightness to be readable even in a dark room without dazzling the user.
Another huge benefit of this technology is the reduction in energy it creates. By reducing brightness when it is not needed a lot of energy can be saved and the lifetime of the display will also be longer.
This is a good example of introducing a feature to both improve the experience for the user as well as reducing the impact on the environment.
One company that have introduced this feature is Eizo:
