Abstract: A computer monitor hood is provided having top, left side, and right side shading panels. The computer monitor hood is formed as a monolithic structure, and is made of rigid material having elastic memory. When it is first molded, the bottom edges of the left side and right side shading panels are closer together than their top edges so that, when the computer monitor hood is in place on a computer monitor, the left side and right side shading panels are biased into frictional contact with the computer monitor as a consequence of the elastic memory attempting to restore the left side and right side shading panels to their unstressed position. Thus, the computer monitor hood may be placed in any selected position on a computer monitor as a consequence of the left side and right side shading panels being biased towards and in frictional contact with the sides of the computer monitor.

Abstract: A simple and inexpensive portable laptop computer hood is disclosed in the form of a sheet with panels, flaps, fold lines, and a single viewing aperture. The single sheet of foldable material can be folded into a 3-dimensional hood operational configuration or a flattened configuration for easy storage and transportation. Because these sheet's panels do not lock into specific positions when the sheet is configured into a 3-dimensional hood, they can be easily repositioned to accommodate variations in both laptops size dimensions and individual operator preferences. A notable aspect of the 3-dimensional configuration of the laptop computer hood is that it allows the laptop computer's keyboard to remain outside of the light-protected compartment area for easy access by the laptop computer's operator. Strategically placed side panels enable the unit to independently stand on its own as the laptop computer is inserted into the compartment.

Abstract: A flexible panel is provided that is easily and conformingly applied to a curved display screen of a VDU to afford, in a lightweight manner, variably adjustable contrast enhancement of the VDU while simultaneously providing a decrease in the amount of ambient light reflected from the curved display screen.
