  • Glare reduction shield
    Patent number: 5015072
    Abstract: A glare reducing shield usable with a touchscreen display includes a shade positioned above the display and a circular polarizer mounted within the shade and above touch-screen display. The circular polarizer is mounted at a height sufficient to permit activation of touch finger control functions on the touch-screen display. Reflections from the circular polarizer are reduced by shaping the circular polarizer to direct light reflected therefrom to light absorbing material coating the inner surfaces of the hood.
