15.6-inch 16:10 privacy filter for bezel-less

This privacy screen filter fits 15.6-inch laptops with a 16:10 aspect ratio and slim or bezel-less frames. It uses Microlouver technology to limit the viewing angle to +/-30 degrees, preventing visual eavesdropping in shared workspaces. The accessory suits professionals handling sensitive data who need on-screen privacy without disabling touch input or covering webcams and sensors.

Flip-over mounting with adhesive or tab options

The filter installs using included adhesive strips, flip-up tabs or mounting tabs, requiring no permanent modification to the device. Its ultra-thin plastic construction preserves full touchscreen responsiveness while seated on the display. The design frees the user from removing the filter to share content; it simply flips to the back of the screen and returns when privacy is needed again.

75% light transmittance

Under continuous use the filter transmits 75% of display brightness, reducing the need to increase screen output to compensate for dimming. Independent lab testing confirms it blocks 47% of blue light in the 380-450nm range, lowering eye strain during long sessions. The anti-glare surface maintains readability under sustained ambient lighting without degrading touch accuracy.
