JapanNext's prototype display uses Light Field technology to change how screen objects shine

JapanNext has previewed a number of new products at its first product showcase in Tokyo, including a dual portable monitor that is already available, a wireless charger planned for launch soon, and a 31.5-inch 6K monitor which the Japanese manufacturer says is scheduled for release in 2026.

It also took the wraps off a reference prototype screen that uses Light Field technology - an experimental display which changes how objects appear to shine, depending on the viewing angle.

The special effect, which has to be seen to be believed, is created through the use of special surface filters and tailored content - JapanNext says it can be used for the likes of digital art displays, where shifting visual effects could enhance the presentation.
