COMMON QUERIES

Q. Why does VDT operation cause eye strain ?

A. 1. As VDT operation involves looking at a light emitting source similar to the sun for a prolonged period of time, visible high luminance rays stimulate the eyes.

     2. Reflections from external light sources makes the screen hard to see. It thus becomes necessary for the operator to make excessive use of eye muscles.

Q. Are low priced filters effective ?

A. Colored / tinted filters will somewhat reduce flickering. But filters without anti-reflection  properties may actually increase reflections, making the screen even more difficult to see.

Q. Will using a filter darken the Screen ?

A. TECHNO SCREEN™s reduce by half, the visible high luminance rays and enhance contrast for sharper, and easier to see images.

 Q. How about mesh type filters with less reflections ?

A. It is true that such filters can reduce reflections. But high definition images may blur reducing visibility because the use of mesh type filter is similar to placing a screen over the image.

 Q. I would like to use a mesh type filter because it is less expensive. What do you think ?

A. Its true that mesh type filters are more affordable. But they are likely to generate mesh clogging or tearing after using them for a half year to one year. This makes replacement necessary, eventually resulting in increased costs.

Q. Are plastic /  glass filters likely to cause annoying reflections ?

A. Yes, to prevent this, TECHNO SCREEN™ employs an anti-reflection coating which effectively eliminates reflections without blurring images.

Q. How long can you use TECHNO SCREEN™ ?

A. TECHNO SCREEN™ can be used permanently.

Q. Can you explain how to care for a TECHNO SCREEN™ ?

A. Clean the filter using the cloth provided.

Q. Can I use wet tissue to clean the TECHNO SCREEN™ ?

A. No this is not recommended as it will dampen the filter surface and dirt will remain no matter how many times you wipe it.

Q. To what should the ground wire be connected ?

A. Connect the ground wire to any metal part of the CPU or any metallic object around the CPU (like filing cabinet).

Q. Isn't an X-ray block needed ?

A. As X-rays from CRT's are kept below the natural radiation level, a block is not necessary.

Q. How does the anti electromagnetic wave property of TECHNO SCREEN™ work ?

A. These filter employ a transparent metallic coating to absorb the electromagnetic waves.

Q. Some recently launched CRT's are provided with an anti-reflection properties. If that is the case is it still necessary to use a filter ?

A. Yes, a filter is still needed to reduce visible high luminance rays and electromagnetic waves from CRTs, to prevent static electricity build up and to enhance contrast.

Q. What is Static Electricity?

A. Static Electricity is produced as a result of electrons being emitted from the electron beam. It is an electrical charge, consisting of stationary ions that do not move in a current.

Q. What is electromagnetic radiation?

A. The coupled electric and magnetic fields that are generated by time-varying currents and accelerated charges.  

Effect on human- Exposed to it over a long period would inflicted injury on human cell and may affect chromosome mutation, miscarriage, but without external, visible symptoms nor scare.

With screen glass filter- When properly earth, conductive chromed film would reduce electromagnetic radiation by 99%.
