As a design pioneer of monitor light bar, we have kept refining ourselves to provide the best products, and therefore BenQ ScreenBar Halo was born.
ScreenBar Halo comes with an exclusive backlight for bias lighting, and the real asymmetrical optics ensures zero screen glare but at the same time lights up the whole work station. Its high compatibility with different types of monitors also sets itself apart from others.
With ScreenBar Halo, you can enjoy a more comfortable and productive experience, without sacrificing your eye health.
In 2023, we introduce the world's first dual-form light bar: BenQ LaptopBar. This pioneering laptop lighting solution combines ultimate portability with a lightweight design, perfectly fitting into your pocket.
LaptopBar isn't just a light; it's a reimagination of illumination. Through an intricate process involving 20 million beam simulations, we created a 3D surrounding illumination that brings together central brightness and ambient light. This design reduces the contrast between your screen and surroundings, offering optimal eye comfort during prolonged work sessions with your laptop.
We are thrilled to collaborate with like-minded companies who share our passion for creating exceptional products, and who are equally committed to advancing innovation and design.
Together, we are holding a giveaway to celebrate the IDD, and we would like to invite you to share about your thoughts on how design can bring changes to the world.
