Honor is redefining smartphone display technology while tackling one of our most pressing digital problems: eyestrain

The upcoming Magic v3 device, which will be unveiled at IFA 2024, will feature the industry's first Honor AI Defocus display This was first unveiled earlier this year and uses AI technology on the device to adjust the display after prolonged use

This display technology uses AI algorithms to replicate the functionality of traditional optical methods in special glasses

According to Honor, the goal is to reduce eye strain and prevent transient myopia

The defocus signal is embedded in the display layer, effectively reducing the strain on the user's eyes and providing a much more comfortable viewing experience

According to Honor, the combination of the display and AI model can reduce transient myopia caused by near work by an average of 13 degrees after only 25 minutes of use

Myopia is a growing problem worldwide due to increased screen time, and the core of AI defocus display technology is to eliminate the elongation of the eye that ultimately causes myopia through DIMS or Defocus-Incorporated Multi-Segmentation This is to

During testing, it was found that this display technology increases the thickness of the central choroid This is an indicator of eye strain and other eye health conditions that may be caused by screen use

At this time, AI Defocus technology supports popular apps like YouTube and Amazon Kindle, allowing users to comfortably enjoy their favorite content for extended periods of time without suffering from eye strain

Honor has stated that it plans to support more applications in the future Besides that, Honor Magic V3 also offers ultra-high PWM dimming This is a technology that radically reduces screen flicker for enhanced eye protection

These industry-leading features underscore the company's commitment to using technology to improve user health Onor describes the Magic V3 as a device that offers health as well as performance

According to a study by the National Institutes of Health, half of the world's population will be affected by myopia by 2050

Over the past several decades, cases of myopia have increased worldwide as computer use and telephone use have increased This is due to near vision, or the ability to spend more time looking at a screen from a short distance away, which over time causes the eye to stretch and become nearsighted

One solution that optometrists can offer when dealing with myopia is to have the patient wear defocusing glasses Defocus glasses use special lenses to create an intentional defocus in front of the retina, emitting a visual guidance signal

If you suffer from eye strain while using a smartphone, especially if you spend a lot of time on YouTube or the Amazon Kindle app, you may want to consider Honor Magic v3 when it is released
