In our increasingly digital world, screens are the windows through which we work, learn, and connect. However, this constant exposure comes at a cost—digital eye strain, characterized by dryness, fatigue, and blurred vision, has become a widespread concern. Committed to harmonizing technological innovation with human well-being, BOE Technology Group is at the forefront of addressing this challenge. By pioneering a suite of full-scenario eye care technologies, BOE is not just manufacturing displays; it is engineering healthier visual experiences. From advanced low blue light solutions to industry-leading flicker reduction, BOE’s innovations are setting new standards for protecting users’ eyes across smartphones, tablets, computers, and televisions.
BOE's Commitment: A Visionary Leader in Eye Care Innovation
BOE’s commitment extends beyond producing displays; it is rooted in a mission to safeguard user health through technological excellence. The company relentlessly develops industry-leading solutions, many of which represent disruptive innovations in the display field. This dedication was highlighted during China’s 29th National Eye Care Day, underscoring the societal importance of visual health. BOE’s approach integrates a portfolio of technologies—including low blue light, ultra-high frequency PWM dimming, and natural light optimization—to create a comprehensive shield against digital eye strain, ensuring both superb image quality and unwavering protection for countless users.
Core Technologies Powering Eye Health
BOE’s eye care ecosystem is built on several groundbreaking technologies, each targeting a specific cause of visual discomfort.
1. Advanced Low Blue Light Technology
Harmful high-energy blue light in the 415nm to 455nm wavelength is a primary threat from screens. BOE employs proprietary peak redshift technology for both LED backlights and OLED panels to effectively filter this harmful spectrum. This innovation drastically reduces the proportion of harmful blue light emitted from screens to less than 6%, a figure far lower than the general industry standard. Crucially, BOE’s flexible display low blue light technology maintains this protection across the entire color temperature scale without causing color deviation or reducing color gamut coverage, delivering true-to-life colors while minimizing eye damage.
2. ADS Pro & Natural Light Optimization
Eye strain often worsens under ambient lighting due to screen glare. BOE’s self-developed, high-end LCD solution, ADS Pro, tackles this by enhancing performance in natural light. A key metric is Ambient Contrast Ratio (ACR), heavily influenced by screen reflectivity. The star of the ADS Pro series, UB Cell technology, uses surface treatment and pixel structure optimization to slash reflectivity from a conventional 5% down to just 1.1%. This significant reduction in glare and improvement in contrast under indoor lighting greatly enhances viewing comfort.
3. Ultra-High Frequency PWM Dimming
Screen flicker, often imperceptible, is a major contributor to eye fatigue, especially in low light. The pulse width modulation (PWM) frequency considered low-risk for human health is above 1,250Hz. BOE has pioneered ultra-high frequency PWM dimming technology, achieving an incredible frequency of up to 4,320Hz. This rate far exceeds the maximum flicker frequency detectable by the human eye, virtually eliminating flicker-induced strain and providing a stable, comfortable viewing experience in all lighting conditions.
4. Paperlike Display & Patented Gamma Adjustment
Mimicking the comfort of reading printed text is a key goal. BOE’s second-generation non-destructive gamma display technology (protected by patents ZL 2016 10214546.6 and ZL 2019 1 0389905.5) plays a vital role. It leverages patented paperlike eye care tech to accurately restore 256 shades of gray between black and white. This, combined with real-time grayscale adjustment based on ambient light, creates a natural, paper-like visual sensation with accurate, layered colors that reduce the focusing effort required from your eyes.
5. Optical Solutions for Near-Vision Scenarios
For devices used at close range, BOE has developed specialized optical technologies. Its Natural Light Display technology scatters the linearly polarized light from LCDs into a softer, non-polarized light, reducing glare and symptoms of eye fatigue and dryness. Furthermore, Freeform Surface Optical Technology can project a high-definition image of a distant scene (3-10 meters away) onto a nearby screen, allowing a user sitting just 40-50cm away to view content as if it were on a large screen 10 meters distant. This helps simulate far-gazing scenarios, a critical function in preventing and managing myopia.
Real-World Applications: Eye Care in Your Everyday Devices
BOE’s technologies are not confined to labs; they empower products from world-leading consumer brands, delivering all-round protection.
Smartphones & Tablets:
The HONOR Magic6 RSR Porsche Design flagship phone incorporates BOE’s first-of-its-kind tandem OLED solution and the groundbreaking 4,320Hz PWM dimming mode, offering exceptional eye comfort during nighttime use.
For students, the BOE Art Cloud A1S tablet features a natural light display clinically certified by Beijing Tongren Hospital to reduce eye fatigue by 24%, and includes built-in vision testing tools.
Televisions & Monitors:
The Skyworth Q72 Smart MiniLED TV, powered by BOE’s chip-on-glass active matrix (COG AM) technology, uses Active Matrix Addressing to minimize flicker for a stable, fatigue-free viewing experience.
In the office, the Lenovo UHD Mini LED monitor (31.5-inch) uses the same COG AM tech with 1,152 precise dimming zones to prevent harsh brightness flashes.
Laptops & Specialized Displays:
The ROG Strix 8 Plus Super OC Edition gaming laptop benefits from BOE’s high-frequency PWM dimming, hardware low blue light, and ADS Pro solutions for fast, immersive, and eye-friendly gameplay.
The BOE iGallery E2 digital art frame uses paperlike technology for a zero-flicker, low blue light display ideal for long-term viewing, while dedicated anti-myopia screens for students employ AR freeform surface technology to encourage healthy viewing distances.
Setting Industry Standards and Looking Ahead
As a true industry leader, BOE understands that setting benchmarks is as important as creating technology. In a significant move, BOE collaborated with TÜV Rheinland to release the first authoritative eye care standard within China’s semiconductor display industry. This standard defines display performance across three dimensions: core eye care technology, dynamic display characteristics, and ambient light management. BOE’s flexible OLED displays have earned low blue light certifications from TÜV Rheinland, SGS, and other authoritative bodies, validating their effectiveness.
Adhering to a philosophy of sustainable development, BOE aims to be a great and respectable company that gives back to society. With users’ fundamental health interests at its core, BOE continues to innovate within its eye care technology portfolio. Looking forward, the company will keep empowering the global ecosystem through its “Powered by BOE” innovation network, shaping a digital future that is not only more amazing and convenient but also fundamentally healthier and more comfortable for the eyes of users everywhere.
FAQ:
What is the most harmful blue light range, and how does BOE address it?
