This bit of magical privacy is achieved through the way typical LCD (liquid crystal display) screens are constructed. Most light from the sun, light bulbs, or that twinkle in your eyes is actually a big messy wad of electromagnetic waves pointing this way and that. This is also the case with the source light for LCDs.

However, these screens also use polarizing filters that work like a Play-Doh fun factory and squeeze out a thin horizontal strip of light. Then, depending on whether the crystals are “turned on” or not, they will bend the light into a vertical strip that can pass through the second polarizing filter oriented in a vertical direction.

In any case you have to be careful, because not all screens are created equal so results may vary. And it probably goes without saying that this only works with LCD screens, so put the screwdriver down and slowly back away from that plasma screen.

Polarized sunglasses may make it easier and more comfortable to see outdoors, but wearing them while trying to read an LCD (liquid-crystal display) screen can sometimes — literally — leave your eyes in the dark.

Most LCDs, such as your smartphone and tablet, use a polarizing filter to help you see the screen in bright sunlight. But so do polarized sunglasses, meaning the two essentially cancel each other out, causing your LCD screen to appear dark or completely black when you look at it.

Polarized sunglasses are designed to block glare — overly bright light reflected off shiny surfaces such as water and snow. Natural light consists of protons bouncing in many directions; polarized lenses filter that light, causing those protons to travel in a single, uniform direction (usually horizontal).

Polarized sunglass lenses are coated with a chemical compound composed of molecules that are parallel to one another. These molecules absorb any light waves traveling in the direction in which they’re aligned, preventing them from passing through the coating.

LCD screens and sunglasses typically contain a polarizing filter for the same reason: to make it easier for you to see clearly, especially in bright sunlight.

What tends to happen is your polarized sunglasses do their job by only allowing light to pass through vertically. Meanwhile, your phone screen emits horizontally vibrating light while blocking vertical light.

Your lenses and screen end up counteracting each other by working in opposite directions. As a result, you wind up seeing a dark or blacked-out image.

The solution is simple: Rotate your tablet or phone screen by 90 degrees. This trick usually works because it positions your screen’s polarizing filters so they block light waves traveling in the same direction as your polarized sunglasses, allowing light to pass through.

Newer smartphone and computer screens have found ways to compensate for this issue, but you may still notice a darker screen when wearing polarized sunglasses with an older model screen.

In some cases, you may need to view LCDs on an instrument panel that can’t be rotated. This can be true for boaters and pilots who must be able to read instrumentation quickly and accurately to ensure their safety. For this reason, you should avoid wearing polarized sunglasses in these circumstances.

Polarized lenses also can interfere with your ability to see and read the displays on gas pumps and ATMs. To see more clearly when filling your tank or withdrawing money, remove your sunglasses when performing these tasks.

Any reputable eyewear retailer (brick-and-mortar store or online shop) will provide accurate labeling on sunglasses they offer, so you should be able to tell at a glance whether those sunglasses you’re considering have polarized lenses.

Hold the sunglasses in a way that allows you to look through both pairs of lenses at the same time. Rotate one pair of sunglasses by 90 degrees. If all light is blocked when passing through both pairs, then your older sunglasses probably have polarized lenses.

You also can test your sunglasses by looking at an LCD screen while wearing them. Just remember to rotate the device 90 degrees to make sure you’re checking for a polarizing filter that blocks light traveling either horizontally or vertically.

I wear polarized sunglasses most of the time and have very little problem with seeing the display on any of my units. The standard polarization is vertical meaning the horizontal rays which cause the most glare is blocked. Perhaps it"s your sunglasses that aren"t polarized correctly.

My regular sunglasses are not polarized so it"s not an issue, but when I wear my prescription polarized sunglasses, I can"t see my 3597LMTHD very well at all. Never had this problem with earlier GPSrs.

I"m pretty sure that the glasses are right. In addition to the intent to cut reflected glare that would not work if the orientation were changed, I"ve compared them to multiple other brands in stores, and all are polarized the same way. They show light passing when oriented the same way as the other glasses, and light blocked when the glasses I"m comparing them to are rotated 90 degrees.

Also worth noting is that the monitor that I"m using at this moment has it"s filters oriented in the way that I would call "correctly", its screen only darkens if I rotate my lenses 90 degrees. Not that I would expect monitor makers to be as concerned with this as GPS manufacturers should be. It may well be just chance that the top layer of my monitor"s orientation matches sunglasses.

I have a 255 which is a later version of your 250 and I don"t have a problem viewing the screen with polarized glasses. I can understand the issue on those units that switch from horizontal to vertical orientation as the polarizing filter would be fixed so it would then rotate from vertical to horizontal effectively blocking the screen.

The radio display on 1 series BMWs cannot be seen through polarized sunglasses. The "solution" is to play with a piece of overhead presentation material until you get the orientation "right" and then cut out a piece to cover the display. The same thing might work on the nuvi.

I have the same problem with the car"s in-dash LCD display for the radio & climate controls and at gas pumps with LCD displays. I have to take off my sunglasses to read these displays, or look over the top.

I have tried to duplicate your problem and found that, when I have difficulty to see the GPS screen, the location of the GPS is usually forcing me to take my eyes of the road, which is dangerous.

But it isn"t a matter of position. It is that normal polarized sunglasses are polarized vertically, and the front filter on my nuvi 250 seems to be polarized horizontally. That adds up to darkness no mater where I put it unless I rotate it so that it isn"t horizontal to my line of sight.

The radio display on 1 series BMWs cannot be seen through polarized sunglasses. The "solution" is to play with a piece of overhead presentation material..

But tell me about the series 1 BMW radio. Is it a touch screen or only a display? Clearly I can"t be doing this "fix" if I can no longer use the touch screen. Will this prevent me from using the touch screen or make the touches less accurate?

Actually, I find this extremely interesting because I have one of the last 250 that were produced, and they were produced on the 255 hardware platform (faster processor, more memory, somewhat different software with round on-screen zoom buttons rather than the older square buttons). I would ask you to do the "rotation test" and see at what point, if any, you see the screen darken when the lens or GPS receiver is rotated.

Assuming that your glasses are polarized and you see darkening at some point, then the implication is that, if you want to avoid this problem, no amount of research is going to help. You have to buy your GPSr from a brick and mortar retailer and see the actual one that you are buying in operation (not the demo unit). Comparing by model numbers may not be enough.

But it isn"t a matter of position. It is that normal polarized sunglasses are polarized vertically, and the front filter on my nuvi 250 seems to be polarized horizontally.

I have Maui Jim"s sunglasses and no problem seeing the nuvi 350...at steep angles there"s a color streaks but when in the correct viewing angle, no problem.

I"m confused about what the GPS 60 CSx is telling us, but since you mention that it has the option to turn off the backlight it is clearly a very special type of display. I have had the backlight fail in a LCD display and only with a very strong flashlight could I tell that the display itself was still trying to display and only the backlight had failed. Normally such a display just looks black.

This is very likely. Garmin likely has multiple suppliers, and I fear that they don"t spec the polarization of the front filter. This has bad implications for anyone trying to research a Garmin GPS. To avoid the polarized sunglasses issue you pretty much have to buy your nuvi through a brick and mortar store when you can see that actual nuvi that you are buying turned on. Not just the display model (if the display model has a real screen at all and not just a colored overlay).

Anyone doing a test with polarized sunglasses and reporting that they don"t see a problem, please rotate your glasses and let us know if the screen darkens at some other rotation and if so at what angle (likely 45 degrees or 90 degrees). If you don"t see a darkening, please check your glasses against an LCD monitor and confirm that they are really polarized.

If I"m using the GPS to find a location that is new to me, I have to remove my sunglasses completely so I can safely see the screen without doing acrobatics.

I mentioned this problem to an optometrist once, and he said some airline pilots specify one sun glass lens polarized and the other non-polarized--for viewing LCD instruments.

My 3597LMTHD is fine in the horizontal or vertical position but turn it 45 degrees in a clockwise direction and it darkens so it"s almost impossible to see the map. Turning it counter clockwise has no affect on the visibility of the screen.

No problems with my 2460. I wear polarized sunglasses all the time (well, when I"m in the car and the sun is up). The Nuvi isn"t a problem; some other instruments and displays in the car are; one, I have to turn my head at an angle, or slide my sunglasses down to read certain parts of the display.

as others have noticed, depends on the orientation of the polarizer in the sunglasses, and in the display. It would seem the orientation is at best set randomly, and at worst, by our friend Murphy...

The radio display that is not visible through polarized lens is not a touch screen. But my iphone 4S is in an Otterbox which puts a piece of plastic over the touch screen display. Works fine.

I"m using old airplane pilot sunglasses, with excellent polarization filter. And they are "mirror" type. Yeah, I know, not so cool now Top Gun style. They work excellent in curbing reflection from wet road or car windows. And my GPS may look darker through them, but it never was so bad, that would bother me. I keep my GPS in low left-bottom corner of my windshield. If you have difficulties to see GPS screen through sunglasses I see three solutions:

I don"t think they will change construction of screen to make them fit sunglasses. Especially that in different shades there may be different polarization filter and it will not work again.

First of all, cinema 3D type glasses offer no UV protection. Second, they are not polarized like that. There were cardboard 3D glasses back in the 60"s and early 70"s that used that design. But modern 3D glasses, such as "RealD" theater glasses or even the glasses made for use with LG 3D TVs, use "circularly polarized" lenses. One lens is clockwise polarized, the other counter clockwise polarized. Do a Google search on "circular polarized 3d" for more details.

The 3D glasses for the movie Avatar in 2009 were linear polarized. They also used a thin plastic film for the “lens”. I know because I used a pair to make a darkener for a seriously over bright display. Just rotate two pieces until you get the desired darkening and then glue them in place.

I had noticed a dark screen when using polarized glasses. Since most of mine are that way, I just have to take them off to see the GPS. I have a 255.

But it isn"t a matter of position. It is that normal polarized sunglasses are polarized vertically, and the front filter on my nuvi 250 seems to be polarized horizontally. That adds up to darkness no mater where I put it unless I rotate it so that it isn"t horizontal to my line of sight.

A few years back, I tested a car with a heads-up display (HUD). I could see it at all and the vendor riding with me was puzzled until we realized I was wearing polarized sunglasses. They would completely cut off the display reflecting on the windshield.

A few years back, I tested a car with a heads-up display (HUD). I could see it at all and the vendor riding with me was puzzled until we realized I was wearing polarized sunglasses. They would completely cut off the display reflecting on the windshield.

Reflection from the windshield should not have caused the problem. It seems likely that the real problem was that the HUD was LCD based and suffered the same problem as some Garmin GPS units, the polarization filter on the top surface was such that it caused the display to darken completely when viewed through polarized sunglasses. Another case of this same poor design.

In the normal "wide view" position, my new 3597 is somewhat darkened by my sunglasses. If I tip my head about 25 degrees in the correct direction (right), it lightens up. I tried putting the unit in the "narrow view" orientation, which of course also makes the map rotate 90 degrees, and it is better, with no real darkening unless I really tip my head, or the unit. I then put the unit in front of my computer screen, and with sunglasses on, found that the orientation or "rotation degrees" to darken, are almost the same for both screens. I can make both screens go dark with about a 30 degree tilt of the head - to the left, with a slight increase in brightness of both with a tilt to the right. So - does this mean Garmin is setting them this way, to be like a LCD screen? Sure would be nice if they turned it about 25 more degrees for the lightest view. I"m pretty sure my glasses are oriented correctly. I like the idea of one lens polarized, one not, but I"m not sure which eye I want the sun glaring on!

I dug out a pair of the Real3D glasses, and see what you mean. They give a blue effect in one direction and a yellow effect in the other, at least looking at this LCD display and the GPS unit. No darkening of the screen, but as you say, no UV protection and also wouldn"t necessarily stop glare from the windshield or road. Looks like we"re stuck looking over the top of polarized, or going non-polarized, or rotating the unit on it"s mount to avoid darkened screens.

Many people wear polarized sunglasses outdoors to reduce reflections from shiny surfaces, such as the surface of a lake. What is the implication of using polarized sunglasses to view a camera’s LCD screen or EVF (electronic viewfinder)?

Unpolarized light reflected from a transparent dielectric surface will become fully polarized at Brewster’s angle of incidence/reflection. At other angles of incidence/reflection, the reflected light will become partially polarized. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster%27s_angle for more information.

Properly designed polarized sunglasses have a polarizing film that blocks light polarized in the horizontal direction, and passes light polarized in the vertical direction. In the absence of any additional shading in the sunglasses, the sunglasses will block 50% of unpolarized light, which can be thought of in this case as a random mix of vertically and horizontally polarized light.

When light reflects off a pool of water at Brewster’s angle, the reflected light will be completely polarized in the horizontal direction, and the polarized sunglasses will completely block that reflected glare. At reflection angles different than Brewster’s angle, the effect will not be 100%, but the glare will be reduced. This effect also can work with reflections off of car hoods or even pavement, even though we don’t think of those surfaces as being transparent. The clear coat and wax on the car hood and the oils on pavement most likely provide the transparent surface necessary for the Brewster’s angle effect.

LCD screens used on digital cameras can sometimes (often, but not in all cases) produce light that is partially to almost fully polarized in a specific direction, because of the design of the particular LCD screen. If, for example, the camera manufacturer places the LCD orientation so that the light emanating from the LCD is horizontally polarized when the camera is held in the normal landscape position, then someone wearing polarized sunglasses will see a very dark LCD image when using the camera in landscape format.

I use digital cameras for both photography and video. My guess is that far more of my photos are shot in landscape orientation than in portrait orientation, and when shooting video, I shoot 100% landscape orientation. I live in a sunny climate and I use polarized sunglasses for driving, hiking and many outdoor activities. I also do a lot of adventure travel, and find polarized sunglasses useful for such travel. I decided to do a test to see how the LCD screens and EVFs of some specific digital cameras (specifically Panasonic and Sony, which I own several of) interact with polarized sunglasses.

Some years ago, I had noticed that polarized sunglasses could interact with LCDs/EVFs, but it had not really been a problem. Then I bought a Panasonic DMC-LX100 and really ran into a problem. The LCD and the EVF on the LX100 are polarized in the horizontal direction (not 100% polarized, but still strongly polarized). One of the big features of the LX100 was that it could shoot 4K video (the primary reason that I bought it), which of course would always be done in the landscape orientation. Additionally, far more than half of my photos would be in the landscape orientation. What this means is that when I am outdoors and wearing my prescription polarized sunglasses (having far/medium/near correction, i.e., can’t see much without them), when I shoot video or shoot photos in the landscape orientation, the LCD of the LX100 is so dark as to be unusable and the EVF is somewhat dark with a vertical shaded broad line in it. When I switch to portrait orientation, the LCD and the EVF have no problem with my polarized sunglasses.

I wondered how could Panasonic get such a basic feature wrong - polarized sunglasses have been around far longer than have digital cameras, and polarized sunglasses are truly useful for reducing glare, not just lowering the overall amount of light passed. So I decided to test other Panasonic cameras (and Sony cameras, which are in this thread) to see how they interact with polarized sunglasses. Here are my findings for various Sony cameras and how they interact with polarized sunglasses (OK means no or little effect from the sunglasses):

It is possible to manufacture LCDs that have minimal polarization issues in either landscape or portrait orientation, but it appears that in the Sony models that I tested, that is not the case, except for the OLED EVFs.

If an LCD or EVF is manufactured or designed to produce somewhat or strongly polarized light, then the LCD or EVF should be mounted to produce vertical polarization, so that it won’t render the LCD/EVF unusable for shooting video and also for shooting landscape orientation photos, which my guess is far more than half of all photos. It looks like in all of the Sony cameras that I tested, Sony got this right.

It is entirely possible that in a manufacturing run of a specific camera model, the type of LCD/EVF or the orientation of the LCD/EVF is changed, so your results might be different than mine.

Quality polarized sunglasses are manufactured with a polarizing film that blocks horizontal polarization and passes vertical polarization as explained earlier. Every pair of polarized sunglasses I have ever owned work this way, in order to reduce glare. If you have a pair of polarized sunglasses that don’t work this way, you should return them and get your money back.

I would be interested to hear from others how their camera’s LCD/EVF interacts with polarized sunglasses when the camera is used in landscape orientation and in portrait orientation.

As much as we rely on cell phones in our daily lives, they are not without flaws. Many are susceptible to malware, their batteries wear down and being dropped in the wrong way has led to the demise of many a screen.

Much of what can go wrong depends on the model, but there is one thing pretty much all of them have in common: screens and sunglasses don’t mix. You know what we’re talking about.

We’ve all been there, needing to read something on our phone outside, only to struggle because our sunglasses make the screen impossible to see. We could take the glasses off, but the sun is kind of hot and bright so that’s not a great option, either.

Lest you think being unable to read your phone with sunglasses on is just a part of life we will have to accept, understand not only why it happens, but that it does not have to be that way.

At issue is polarization, which we have heard plenty of with glasses lenses. Essentially, the photon particles that make up light travel like a zig-zagging wave on their way to our eye. Unpolarized light particles, however, travel in many directions at once.

What polarizing filters do is absorb light waves that vibrate on a specific axis, so in the case of polarizing sunglasses, the horizontally-vibrating waves are absorbed. Only the vertical waves get past the lenses and to your eye.

The idea is to reduce glare, which sunglasses most certainly do. But in the process, it significantly reduces the amount of light we see from certain screens, like those of cell phones.

The problem is that since our devices have polarizing filters, too. Using them with sunglasses is a bad mix. As we know, making the screens as bright as they can be does not do much to fix the problem.

Now then, why this happens is because of the way that 3rd party screens are designed, all devices with LCD screens have a polarization filter with in them, why this is is because of the way that light works. With out them you wouldn"t be able to see the screen at all, it would look black blue white or fuzzy. Polarization works by taking all the rays of light and refracting them to a certain direction. It works well in sun glasses because rather than dimming the light with a dark glass, it refracts away most of the light coming towards your eyes and dims the ones that do come through. However, when your looking at already polarized light with them, if the filters are not polarizing to the same direction of light it will filter out all of the light, hence why it works in landscape. Adding the tempered glass on top refracts the light again in a different direction which is why that fixes the issue. Apple"s polarization filters on their screens are different than 3rd party screens, though the difference is so slight, the only time you would ever notice this is with the polarized lenses. Apple and "apple verified repair shops" (which are essentially smaller non apple owned apple stores from what I can tell) are the only places in the world that can get apple original screens, all other repair shops are left to find suppliers of 3rd party screens, eBay, or making their own form 3rd party parts.

So in conclusion, 3rd party screens are made slightly differently, which causes a small issue that ,however annoying, can be fixed fairly easily and cheaply if you look online.

Edit: all screens come from china including apple original screens and all are maid fairly cheaply (screens can cost apple and 3rd party suppliers sometimes less than $10 to make depending on the model) they charge for the demand of the product and the time spent to make it and obviously to make a profit because that is the goal of any company and most individuals, money is a big part of every society.

Polarized light is used with LCD displays for them to work. So the polarity of the polarizer (Up to Down Vs Side to Side) you are wearing and what the screen was designed with can’t be at 90º with each other which will block the most light! It makes no difference who’s phone or tablet you are using as they all have this weakness!

So if you want to use sunglasses (with polarized lenses) when you are using your iPhone or iPad you’ll need to deal with both the orientation of your sunglasses and that of your device.

As an example wearing my el-cheap-o polarized glasses when looking at my factory fresh iPhone (or iPad) screen held with the narrow side to side offers a darker screen! My more expensive circular polarized glasses does not shift at all! But, it’s a bit darker than my cheaper glasses when they are twisted offering the most light. Keep in mind your glasses might be 90º to mine!

OK..this not being able to see my screen when I was driving was driving me nuts. I would have to tilt my head left or right and that"s dangerous. Why the Germans couldn"t have thought this one through is beyond me. The other orange LED readouts are set to be read through Polarized sunglasses...just not the RADIO....:iono:

I read it might be due to the screen protector - but wanted to check in here for advice before attempting to remove the screen protector that came pre-installed.

I pulled the pre-installed screen protector off and applied an IQ Shield - the blurry/yellow problem is resolved. And the fingerprint reader works great.

Hot climates and garaging outside can cause the polarizing film on the cluster LCD screens to fade. Try viewing the cluster through polarized sunglasses or email us for a free test strip. If you can see the cluster, the polarizing film is definitely the problem.

Note: If you purchased our kit, the proper orientation is marked for factory LCD panels. You can skip this step and proceed to the next section, Applying the Film.

Note: We have seen a small number of aftermarket LCD panels which require a different orientation for the polarizing film than the factory LCD panels. Aftermarket LCD panels can usually be identified by a different appearance than factory panels, particularly on the back side of the panel. These rarely need to have the film replaced, and our recommendation is to not replace the film if they are working properly. If you have an aftermarket panel that is sun-faded, contact us.

Rotate the film until the display portion of the LCD is as dark as possible (it should be a dark blue or black color). This is the orientation that the film should be applied.

Clean the front of each LCD panel with Residual Oil Remover (or another quality optical cleaner) and let the panels dry completely. Do not touch the front of the LCD panels after this point.

If the black paint on the back of the LCD panels has worn through, use the supplied black enamel paint and paint brush to repaint that area. Be careful to avoid areas near the factory graphics, and in the areas of the LCD segments!

Some LCD panels have their edges painted with black paint that"s now peeling. If so, use a brush and clean off all the peeling paint around the edges. The paint chips can contaminate the rubber blocks and glass, causing segments of the LCD to not work properly.

Armour-All, dirt and dead bugs can also contaminate the connections between the LCD panels and the circuit board. Strip any loose parte from the black plastic housing and scrub it with Dawn foaming dish soap and hot water using a brush.

You may have heard the phrase “polarized sunglasses’ and wondered what it means. Should you buy them? Why are they more expensive than regular sunglasses?

The quick answer is that polarized sunglasses minimize glare and give you a clear, crisp view. However, the polarization can cause problems with anti-glare technology and may not be an option for some.

We all know that UV rays are harmful to our skin, so we wear sunscreen. But UV rays are also very harmful to our eyes! We should take care to protect our sensitive eyes to UVA & UVB rays. Polarized sunglasses offer much better (some even 99-100%) protection from both kinds of UV rays.

One of the most uncomfortable things or our eyes can experience is the horizontal glare that happens when the sun’s reflection bounces back at us. This could be from the surface of water, a road, or glass. Non-polarized sunglasses can’t take into account the direction that light is coming from, so they don’t offer protection from light that is not vertical.

Polarized sunglasses protect against this horizontal glare, keeping your eyes from having to strain against this uncomfortable light, and potentially reducing damage to your eyes.

Polarized sunglasses are able to correctly convey color. This means you’ll be able to see real colors and their various shades. Non-polarized glasses often skew colors radically so that objects appear very red, pink, or yellow.

Polarized sunglasses are usually more expensive, since they contain higher quality lenses that protect your eyes. You can think of this as an investment in your health!

Pilots cannot wear polarized lenses because the polarization can reduce or eliminate the visibility of instruments that use the same anti-glare filters as the glasses, causing the screens to look distorted. Polarized lenses may also interfere with visibility through an aircraft windscreen and mask the sparkle of light that reflects off shiny surfaces, such as another aircraft’s wing or windscreen.

LCD infotainment screens, used on some mobile devices and in vehicles, such as the Prius, also use polarizing filters and can go dark when seen through polarized glasses.

American Sunglass carries the best brand of pilot-worn sunglasses in the country, Randolph.  They offer lens technology that is military-grade spec adherence without polarization (though they offer both Polarized and Non-Polarized in many of their sunglass models).

There are many manufacturers out there that have realized that sunglasses are not only about fashion, but that they’re about protecting your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV Rays.  So, even though polarized sunglasses will give you superior protection, there are other options out there for the non-polarized glasses that will also protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays. This technology is continually evolving, with the introduction of new materials, designs and manufacturing techniques.
