I cant see any bow ties :/
- throwaway_97 11y agoWait I think I do.. Can't say for sure but they look like two small yellow marbles stacked vertically. What can I say about the polarization of my lcd?
- tjohns 11y agoYup, that's them. It should look like this, only _much_ fainter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haidinger's_brush https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haidinger's_brush (The blue part is a bit harder to see than the yellow.)
- mikepurvis 11y agoThat's a helpful reference. I definitely see it on a 2014 rMBP.
- colordrops 11y agoMaybe it depends on the screen type. I can see it very clearly on my macbook LCD screen, but I can't see almost anything g on my Samsung S4 OLED screen.
- ars 11y ago> OLED screen. Right. I would not expect it with an OLED since that is not polarized.
- learnstats2 11y agoI came here to comment that Haidinger's brush is fainter than the light coming through from the Apple logo on the back of a Macbook screen ;-)
- whoopdedo 11y agoI'm having a hard time finding the orientation of my phone. I can see yellow artifacts but they're not coherent like on other LCDs. And when I look through polarized sunglasses there's no blocked angle. It must be using some alternative polarization even though it's a regular TFT screen. There's certainly a value in not having your phone screen dimmed by sunglasses.
