[Cnet News] Among many unintentional facts, one is quite thought-provoking: why does technology always lag behind reality? For example, some statistics show that there are about 200 million colorblind people in the world, and ten million of them are in the United States. Although technology is developing rapidly, it is still difficult for these people to buy a monitor suitable for their use! I think that even if these statistics are not entirely accurate, the effort made by a company to produce monitors suitable for this group of people will be very meaningful.
Although the technology for colorblind LCD monitors has been realized in the past, according to a report by Akihabara (あきはばら) News, Japan's liquid crystal display manufacturer Eizo claims that they have developed such a system that allows colorblind patients to truly " see " the graphics images displayed on the company's latest 24-inch LCD. Through the Color Universal Design principle, it applies many technologies such as brightness adjustment, graphic shape, position, color scheme, and labeling, etc., so that those who cannot distinguish colors well can see clearly.
Eizo's liquid crystal monitors using the FlexScan system are already available in the Japanese market. If this system can indeed work effectively, then it will not be difficult to promote it worldwide. Generally speaking, no matter what, as long as it can overcome the barriers of language and culture, it will be loved by people like such monitors.
