Pixelworks and Aier Eye Hospital Group Conduct Eye Health Study Identifying Benefits of Improved Smartphone Video Quality
March 14 2018 - 7:00AM
Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PXLW), a leading provider of power
efficient visual processing solutions, today announced the initial
results of an ongoing collaborative study and development effort
with the China Hunan Aier Eye Research Institute, a part of the
Aier Eye Hospital Group of Hunan, China. In a study of video
quality’s impact on the human eye, Aier observed that
Pixelworks provides the solutions to effectively protect the
human eye while enhancing the picture quality and viewing
experience. This study was conducted with a large population of
both male and female viewers of different age groups, under various
viewing conditions and user habits.
Aier and Pixelworks started to collaborate in mid-2016. Both
sides have made tremendous efforts on optimizing the display of
mobile phones, especially in the relief of eye fatigue or myopia
caused by prolonged watching of videos on mobile phones. Pixelworks
is utilizing the results of Aier’s work to further improve and tune
its suite of products and underlying technology.
“Aier Eye Research Institute has performed extensive theoretical
research and obtained rich clinical data in fundus diseases, with
particular attention to the harm to human eyes caused by blue light
in displays of mobile devices. Based on our professional opinion,
Pixelworks provides solutions to effectively protect the human eye
by optimizing the filtering of blue light in displays of mobile
phones,” said Dr. Li Xiaoning at Aier. “In the future, Aier will
further cooperate with Pixelworks so as to promote the development
of optometry science and eye health.”
“At Pixelworks, we are leaving no stone unturned when pursuing
the ultimate viewing experience, including researching eye health
issues associated with prolonged smartphone usage,” said Vikas
Dhurka, Sr. Director of Product Marketing at Pixelworks. “Our
advanced technology improves the viewing experience and as Aier has
now demonstrated, increases overall eye health and comfort. We are
excited to partner with Aier to further advance and refine the
intersection of eye health and technology.”
