imagine you see someone laughing on a white screen beside you
🤣🤣
😂😂
That'd definitely be an interesting sight. Probably step 1 in getting them into a mental institution 😂
To be fair that's probably what we will find humorous soon enough
Aside*
Polarizer contact lenses would be killer for this. Just imagine looking absolutely insane to everyone else, but you can see everything on your iPad.
there might be some problem with them rotating or being the wrong way round. It might be different for permanent ones, but with my single-use lenses, I can put them in either direction and any rotation and they still work, which might break polarization
@@lukeviggers8484I know my ones for astigmatism have little weights in them so they always get right side up
and screw up your eyes with polarizer while your at it
Not really the nazis fault either, the jews "basically" walked to the gaschambers themselves.
@@lukeviggers8484 as someone with astigmatism, they can make weighted contacts that adhere to the exact (and in my case, fucked up) shape of your cornea. Although I agree that putting polarizer right on your eyeballs is probably not a good idea
A decade ago something like this would seem like magic.. And to me it still does even in modern day
FIRE IN THE HOLE 🔥
@@sammyschafer5356 what
WATER ON THE HILL
I've seen this "privacy screen" technique done on computer screens and iirc phones years ago, it's really nothing crazy, you just have to understand how LCD screens work
idk if it was around a decade ago (I think it might be the case, I'd have to scan TH-cam and maybe even some forums to find the first mentions), but at least 5 years easily (I wouldn't be surprised if it'd be 10+)
no offence, ofc, and good job for the guy for doing it first on an iPad, just saying you have to be pretty naive about screens (you may be just young which is fine, no shame, treating a decade like a long time suggests it, 2014 feels like a year ago to me and I don't feel like technology has progressed that much: everything's faster, bigger, more fancy, but no breakthrough except maybe AI, but the theory for machine learning has been around for a very long time, I remember learning Lisp to work on early AI, we just never had this insane computational power to make anything impressive with it (it was mostly just math, tho you had things like "Cleverbot" which felt impressive at the time) before very recently) to consider it "magic"

Iv done it to 2 computer monitors not an iPad yet... Always wanted a phone this way but seperation of LCD from glass is very hard. And requires special tools and machines
Just an rational question,
What is more frightening for you ❓
Possibly damaging your device just to ensure your screen's only visible to you not to everyone around you or being unaware that someone wearing similar glasses is sitting right beside you and silently judging you and you are completely unaware of that? 😂😅

The likely reason it didn't work with the the original glass is that there is an additional linear polarizing layer inside the glass proper to reduce reflections. Nokia used to call this ClearBlack in their smartphones. You can easily check for this by holding the original digitizers one after another and rotating one 90°, like when testing polaroid lenses.

As novel an idea this is, it would make more sense for manufacturers (in the future) to include a polarising layer that can be activated or deactivated electorinically, in conjunction with circular polarising glasses (such as those used in cinemas) which would make rotation possible.
On the other hand, I prefer to deal with people looking at my screen in public by staring directly at them Christopher Walken style.
if this became standard then I would imagine most people would be able to look anyway

The way you hold the film over and can see it is awesome!
imagine if someone made a “dynamic polarizer” that can be turned on and off so you can have a nice, visually secure screen with neat shades to see the screen with, And if Apple were to do this, you know they’d sell the polarizer glasses separately for something like $150
Bad idea. If it will be some people just would get the same glasses so they would see what's on your screen even without polarizer. But now there is very few people that have polarizer glasses so by now it's still impressive till it won't be invested
150 dollars? Are you crazy, it'll be 1k easy.
@@offinse9916 solution: purchasing the glasses requires owning a device that has traveled a given consecutive distance while in active use.
@@dadfixthis2998 that's restricting usability of device, it's very uncomfortable to use
@@offinse9916 The device doesn't need to be greatly affected by the lack of glasses, there could be a hardware switch to toggle polarization, we have the tech for it, as it's how some calculator screens work (I think).
Even if we don't, interchangeable screens would be an option, a normal screen would come with the device, and a non polarizing screen could be ordered for the device in question.
Beautiful customization, perhaps a little risky since it could ruin a good expensive LCD, but still interesting. Nice video as always.
nah, lcds are relatively cheap. Its the oleds that cost a lot to replace.
Most iPad LCD are around 100$ for eBay aftermarket ones, not exactly cheap
i think this video is made for old devices that you want to use again and dont mind if it breaks
@@StormHawksHD you
it has to do with lcd but everyone else think its lsd
Moved up to a pricier version for better screen resolution and processor th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA , but battery drains faster, and not having a button for control of apps turns out to be a problem. Touch ID is harder to use than with the old button on the front. Can't really see the better screen resolution or see increase in speed, etc with better processor
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
“Honey why is your white screen moaning”
The original digitizer is glass only, all the conductive traces are dopped right onto it. The aftermarket ones use a plastic digitizer layer adhered to a piece of glass instead. Plastics often change the polarization of light.
Yes and no. The original digitizers are indeed glass, but it's still 2 layers adhered together.
I want to see the look on people’s faces when they see you on a plane tapping on an iPad with a blank screen

Seeing your struggle with the battery makes me glad my phone's damage made the battery replacement significantly easier. The battery provided its own heat and swole up making it so much easier to remove lol

thank you for always being so engaging and informative!
I have polarized sunglasses that I wear inside for light sensitivity reasons but it results in the literal opposite effect. I think this would be a far more enjoyable experience to have 😅
the polarizers screw up the lights created from the screen that are going through the polarizer which makes the screen blank.
the problem with a messy screen when it is paired with unoriginal touchscreen glass maybe due to the fact, that each screen is calibrated differently and is adjusted to its own glass (as the glass can contribute to polarization of the light coming through), so only replacement of the combined screen + glass will work
Cool, now I can watch black-orange youtube on a plane!

@@arkvsi8142 you were invented?
For the directionality of the polarized layer, it might be interesting to make custom glasses with both eyes having polarized filters at a 90 degree ofset. It might be a bit weird to use but if you really must be be able to hold your ipad both ways it might be a decent option. Only problem is that one eye will see a white screen, or both eyes half of the screen depending on how you orient them on the glasses. Maybe having both at a 45 degree angle would be better (still 90 degrees apart from eachother).
Also, a blank background when you can only see it with one eye isn't the worst thing to have.
"jeff why is the screen moaning-"
I NEED THIS
5 hours to clean the screen! Great tenacity Hugh!
This would work much better with circular polarization than linear polarization, as then the screen can be any orientation.
did you try circular polarized lenses? These are what are used in cinema glasses.
I was so ready for a calm video of someone putting some inverted polarizing layer over an iPad and then invert again through glasses
🤔 I wonder if it would be possible to implement the same circular/radial polarization that is commonly used in modern day 3D stereoscopic movies, which would allow for the screen to be rotated and still maintain proper polarization.
Sir this is a Wendy’s
Ok
why is everybody in the replies rude lol
no
@@Bingus-mp9vushirt waer
Imagine if Apple made a "privacy mode" in control center that somehow hid the polarizer from view. It could also display a message, such as a pair of glasses image with the text "Privacy mode is on" and they could sell special glasses that filter out the color of the text and image.

Just use privacy protector, No need to go through this hassle, Bcz it just works.... Like even if ur right next to person u won't see a thing..
Ok everyone is talking about polarizing contacts or staring at a white screen, but what about a two-part case with a hot swappable protective front? That way you can add polarizer to a top plate, and have the ability to show your screen if and when you want to
Is it terrifying that I thought about this a few weeks before? Before knowing about the tempered glass “Anti chusmas” or something like that, I had thought why not create some lenses that only you can see the screen of your cell phone? That idea crossed my mind again and again, but since I’m not an inventor I said “Someone is going to create it” and I found you and it’s wow

You can also just buy a privacy screen and stick it over your smartphone or Ipad, which does exactly the same job without physically messing with your ipad's screen.

This was so fascinating to watch. So amazing and you did put in a lot of efforts into making this!

It’s not only a good modification. This idea also increases security measures. That would be the social engineering attack called shoulder surfing. It can mitigate shoulder surfing attacks.

The reason the glass is messing with the colours is probably because it's tempered glass. If you look at tempered glass with polarised glasses it will look colourful. Get a non-tempered glass display.
What I want to know, is it better for your eyes this way? Less eye strain?
Ive been thinking... can you do it on contact lenses. That would be sick
Neat. Circular, rotatable, polarising filters might be something to consider, the type screwed onto camera lenses. The glasses would look really weird, but the angle would be infinitely adjustable so you could you switch tablet orientation without having to switch glasses (a little rotation of the filter would do it).
Nope, that won't work. Cpl filters on cameras are still linear polarizers just with a circular polarizer underneath it as a second layer so that the light meter in-camera can function properly.
It could work if the screen was emitting circular polarized light, and then you can use a cinema's 3d glasses which is basically inverted of the cpl filters on camera. It has a circular polarizer as the first layer and a linear polarizer as the second. The projector emits circular polarized light spiraling in clockwise and anti-clockwise to the left and right eye. (Imagine light going in spirals like a spring towards you). Therefore, you can rotate your head comfortably.
Which means it is not possible to use a cpl filter since lcd's emit *linear* polarized light due to it's nature.
@@unliving_ball_of_gas Yes it would work. Instead of using glasses with oval or rectangular lenses, you use ones with round circular ones. So that when you rotate the Ipad you would then also rotate the lens of the glasses in their frame in the same direction.
I thought the same, however I am not sure that it would work. I have not read in depth on the subject yet, however there does seem to be some indication that there are limitations to implementing circular polarization on LCD screens, due to them being fundamentally linear polarization. It seems it may require an entirely purpose-built display that projects light in a circular polarized arrangement to get radial polarization to work. I would absolutely love to see someone hack together something like that.

shut up
This is my dream. I always been thinking about this..
Nice
Try not removing that many layers from the screen. Maybe 1 of them is for color stuff. Try to remove only the top 1, see if that will work.
Dude, you should rock the LCD connector *sideways* to disconnect it, don't rock it backwards like you did at 5:35. I've straight up ripped the upper half of the LCD connector off the logic board before by disconnecting it the way you did, the connector is rather delicate. Rocking it sideways instead avoids undue stress on the logic board connector.
you could make completely round glasses using the polarizing film and and rotate the film so the screen can have its normal colors no matter which angle you hold it at
Could just get a Polarizing screen that you can just put over the normal screen that works with touch. >.>
You can see the icons even with the white screen they're just hard to make out.

Dear Hugh
I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I have a question regarding Samsung Smartphones: Samsung limits the voltage the battery gets charged to after some houndred charging cycles. That means if you change the battery, the new battery will never get fully charged up. How do you deal with that when changing your batteries? I know there is a tool by samsung for resetting the battery cycles but it only supports the S20 and newer phones. Samsung Service centers reset them when replacing the battery so there must be a way to do it without rooting the phone. Maybe you know a solution to this problem, i think it would be an idea for one of your videos.
Greetings
5:16 "after about 5 hours" !!!!!! And that was just the beginning.
Thank you for the video I don’t think I’m going to do this to my iPad.
Slight problem. If you flip it on its side the screen will be invisible to you again because of how polarizing lenses work
bro predicted apple vision
Imagine seeing Hugh out in public using this iPad, and then someone with a polarizer glasses walks by.
Uh oh.
lol
I’m so proud of my self for thinking of this 👏👏👏 they should make contacts for this, like the ones that go in your eyes and no one can even see it.
Creativity 🔝🔝
Great job! Lol now that’s security that Apple didn’t think of.
7:52 Is the protective film over the display causing the issue?
Use the black one that worked instead of getting frustrated with a broken touch and cracks
Using this with headphones is just pure privacy
I didn’t know this concept existed.
I have worked with polarising films for years along with other defraction materials, the reason the screen does not work properly is the plastic type they have used in production, different manufacturers would use different plastics, hence some will interfere with the diffraction of the polarised filmwhile the others will not.
