I bet there is a decent-sized market with untapped demand for laptops / "tablets" (http://paulgraham.com/tablets.html http://paulgraham.com/tablets.html) with a built-in privacy screen mechanism. The hardware itself could be the screen, either by making the screen part of the case itself, or through the display which would enable people to read only from certain angles.
- kmfrk 16y agoThe "privacy screen" is a physical polarization filter - basically a fabric you put on your screen however you like. I don't know of any electrical/mechanical process that could shift the state of fabric to block light at most angles. If you buy a crappy laptop from a couple of years ago, you won't even have to buy a filter to render your screen unreadable from an angle that isn't perpendicular to the screen. :)
