How BenQ Created the First Monitor Light Bar
After WiT, we asked ourselves: what if a lamp could exist without a base—mounted directly on the monitor?
Through countless iterations, we broke the boundaries of traditional lighting and, in 2017, created a new category: the monitor light bar, ScreenBar®.
Its counterweight design restored clarity and order to the desk, while the real breakthrough lay in optics. With over a million optical simulations, we developed an 18-degree asymmetric design that eliminates screen glare and direct eye strain—problems conventional lamps could never solve.
