AI Defocus Display Unveiled by HONOR to Combat Myopia

HONOR has introduced its AI Defocus Display Technology for eye protection. Known for its human-centric innovations, HONOR first made waves with the launch of the HONOR Eye Comfort Display in the HONOR 90 Series. Now, the company is addressing the growing issue of nearwork-induced transient myopia (NITM), a condition caused by prolonged smartphone usage, with its latest AI-powered solution.

As myopia, or short-sightedness, becomes a global concern, with around 50% of the population expected to be affected by 2050, HONOR is committed to improving user well-being. Unlike traditional myopic glasses, which may contribute to worsening axial elongation, HONOR’s AI Defocus Display simulates the effect of defocus glasses. These glasses create controlled defocus, preventing the eye from elongating and reducing the risk of myopia progression. The technology debuts in the HONOR Magic V3, using on-device AI algorithms to replicate this defocus effect on the smartphone display, providing real-time protection without affecting screen clarity.

Extensive scientific tests conducted by HONOR have proven the effectiveness of this innovative solution. Research showed a 13-degree reduction in transient myopia during a 25-minute session, with an increase in central choroid thickness after using the AI Defocus Display for 24 minutes. Backed by expert endorsements from Beijing Tongren Hospital and the Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center, HONOR’s AI Defocus Display is recognized as a breakthrough in smartphone eye-care technology.

With the AI Defocus Display, HONOR is not just preventing eye strain but actively helping to slow the progression of myopia. This feature is complemented by thoughtful additions such as a Magic Capsule notification system that reminds users to take breaks after 30 minutes of continuous screen use. Users can easily toggle this feature on and off, ensuring maximum comfort and eye protection.

By integrating AI-driven eye care into its devices, HONOR is setting new standards for the smartphone industry. The AI Defocus Display transforms how users interact with their screens, providing long-term health benefits and making smartphones not only tools of convenience but also solutions for improving overall well-being. HONOR continues to lead the way in health-conscious innovation, ensuring that future smartphones will prioritize user health alongside cutting-edge technology.
