New visual display unit (VDU) monitors with specific patterns can cause prolonged after-images. These visual effects, though rare, may persist for days, impacting users

Area of Science:

  • Visual perception
  • Human-computer interaction
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Millions use video display units (VDUs) daily, potentially experiencing visual effects.
  • Common visual disturbances include motion after-images like the waterfall illusion and tilt after-effects.

Observation:

  • A novel visual phenomenon is reported with new VDU monitors.
  • These monitors feature a display matrix with an almost square pattern, where vertical lines are thicker than horizontal lines.

Findings:

  • After-images persisting for several days have been observed.
  • This effect is linked to display patterns with an edge length of 0.3 mm and over.

Implications:

  • While of minor concern to most users, this visual effect warrants further investigation.
