It’s important to note this might not work in OLED screens, as those don’t need to use polarisers. Furthermore, screen protectors usually scramble the polarisation due to them using a thin plastic film (if you look at a screen protector through a polariser you can see random multicolor interference patterns).

It's neither the color nor the pixel depth, it's the polarization effect and your ability to discern it. In fact the pixel depth is super irrelevant to this one. One giant pixel would do the job just fine. And as for colors, I would *imagine* that the exact same effect is there no matter what, but the color of the light would wash out the effect to the degree that that color interacts with yellow and blue, so if the light was bluish, the blue region would disappear and the yellow region would take a greenish cast...but everything after the word 'imagine' is just speculation.

It's amazing how much and how little you can see with your own senses.

The last time I was at an eye doctor's, I was able to tell the screen they were using was polarized because I've discovered that one of my eyes starts hurting when staring at polarized light in a dark room and everything starts to look weird with that eye.

Me, when I saw that brush: Woah, I have a super power Me, after realising that it was an image: Oh....damn Me, after the image is gone: AM I BLIND?!

5:17 The normal orientation, it's invisible, but I imagine the starting point is that the yellow line is vertical. If I tilt my head left, the yellow line tilts right, and if I tilt my head right, the yellow line tilts left. It's possible that it's invisible to me when level because I'm used to looking at this screen with a level head, so my brain just filters it out.

As a child, I always stopped and stared at the puddle in the parking lot. The oil on the top made a polarizing effect. I tried to explain it to my parents, but they couldn't see it.

Optical Engineer here, a lot of the light "information" here is not right. For example, metals do reflect and polarize light. There is a whole field of measurements "metrology" dedicated to thin films and metal polarization detection also known as ellipsometry. Linear polarizers dont work on circular or elliptically polarized light, instead, you need a retarder (compensator), quarter wave plate + a linear polarizer to resolve the polarization of light coming from a metal.

i can see it! did take me a bit of time, but yeah, i see it way better when i tilt my head 90° to the left or right, it's way more subtle when i try to see it while keeping my head straight. that's not retinal persistence with the model at the start of the white screen test, because i skipped this part to not influence the test and tried some minutes later to be sure. i tried on my brand new smartphone (amoled) and i can see it too. i noticed that the brush rotating in the OPPOSITE way when i tilt my head, if i tilt it to the right the brush will rotate anti-clockwise. that's very fascinating!

The yellow is quite apparent when I tilt my head, the blue is dimmer, but still there. When my head is oriented vertically, I can just barely see a hint of yellow.

I rarely see floaters, but it's nice when I do. Wouldn't wish for anyone to see them all the time though. But after taking a lot of drugs during about 4 years, I now have phosphenes all the time. I mostly see them at night, it's very easier to see them in dark places. And it's cool. If you start focus at them, they may start to change and make shapes. The more I focus on them, the more they get detailed. It's a fun thing. Also staring for a moment dehydrates your eyes. You can play with it by fixing the ground. It works better on clear repetitive patterns. When you do, it then starts to move. I've done that again recently (don't do it too often!), and it looked like ripples. It's quite awesome. Also, learned the trick where you stay in the dark, and turn on a light above your head on the side of your head. Makes you able to see the blood vessels in your eyes, like a web (it will be in a dark gray most likely).

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Amazing!!! I always thought that was something on monitors, I never thought that's something about vision. I thought the yellow part was the light source of the screen and the blue part the areas where were not well lightened. I was looking to the phone and tilted a little, this gradient pattern doesn't fit the screen, because it was bigger, but it changes direction, going to the opposite direction from where I started to tilt. Love this experiment!!!

Pretty neat stuff. I use cross polarization all the time on VFX projects where we need to control which lights are producing specular highlights on objects that are going to be comped in with 3D animated elements. Each light source will have a polarizer that is aligned specifically for that group and the the camera lenses will have a circular polarizer that can be adjusted depending on the lighting group that is needed.

Here's a really cool experiment: Stick a bunch of strips of scotch tape to a piece of glass, overlapping in random directions. Put the glass between two polarizers with a bright, white surface in the background, and rotate the glass and/or polarizers. It creates a kind of Kaleidoscope effect.

I noticed is I could see it better focusing slightly "behind" the screen instead of focusing right on the surface of the screen. Also, I have 2 monitors and the angle of yellow/blue cross was different on my older IPS monitor (blue band horizontal) vs newer VA monitor (blue band more vertical), absolutely nutty!

When the sun shines through your blinds, some light is blocked and you get parallel lines of light on the wall or whatever. Polarizers block all the light waves that aren't parallel to the little blinds on the sheet. So, if some light is LINEARLY polarized, then those polarizers will let it through if its wave can slide through the polarizer slits. The light gets dimmer if it's not lined up perfectly, and gets blocked when the wave is perpendicular.

I have one eye through which I see clearly, after having 7 ops on the other one for retinal detatchment which see but doesn't focus. So, I can see tons of yellow but not the blue, and that's with no sunglasses. Thanks for sharing this, I saved it to favourites!

I learned how to do that when I was a kid. Pretty cool stuff.

Interesting tidbit, the blue sky is also fairly strongly polarized, so you can see the Brush there fairly easily; as an added bonus, the electrical polarization direction of any particular patch of blue sky is perpendicular to the line connecting that point to the Sun, so the yellow axis of the Brush always points at the Sun.

I can see it, its smaller than I expected. I could only see the horizontal yellow.

Remember reading in a book a suggestion that vehicles could use polarised lights & have polarised windscreens to help reduce glare, always wondered if it would work. 🤔

lol, i recently watched the polirisation phenomenon when sitting in the car and watching the lights with and without glass, finally i understand, thx for sharing

I just started messing with a polarizing filter on my camera and this made me realize why the filter can still be turned after being screwed in. Don’t know why I didn’t realize it sooner. Thank you.

me finding out not everyone can see this: visible confusion

really took me a while and also tried some tips from the comments with tilting your head, but after seeing it, it sure is really cool, even if veeery faint :D

Depends on the surface of the metal. I was at an Oakley store and the salesman took me outside and had me look at a metal plate on the sidewalk and it eliminated almost all the glare. I was really impressed and since that moment at least 20 years ago, I've only bought polarized sunglasses.

What’s odd is that I instantly saw it from the thumbnail but it did give me a bit of a headache from looking at it.

I have a blind patch in the center of my right eye from a pulse laser accident 5 years ago and it still exists. I've gotten so use to it I don't notice it normally unless I'm looking at close lines, grids or anything like a window screen or blinds. The blind spot distorts those things and reminds me of an event horizon. I can't say the spot is black though it's nothing like a dark spot, it's just distorted absence.

It's a little fainted but still visible.

If you tilt your computer screen (or your head) left or right you can see the blue getting bluer and the yellow getting yellower. pretty cool.

First i saw blue when my head tilted w/o polarizer, but it was more like a line rather than the shape shown on screen before. Later it became more and more yellow with different head positions an yellow is more like shown on screen. It was fun ty :)

Ooooohhhhhh!!!!! That explains something I've always experienced! In some lights I've seen yellow or blue auras...

Not only can I see it, but I've been seeing it ever since I started wearing glasses as a kid and have been looking for an explanation ever since!

Years ago, I had a pair of sunglasses that were both polarizing and UV filtering. Because of this, it could block the glare from some things, but the from the things it couldn't (sun glare off water) had this day-glo royal purple halo. Very pretty, I miss them.

More “useless” info I can share with my friends when a situation comes up when my friends sunglasses don’t work and yes this will somehow happen 😃

@redlioness6627

Well, thanks to the "Hooded Claw" here you can now inform them when they are wearing sunglasses the wrong way although I thought there was only one way to wear any kind of glasses....

i thought i couldn't see it, but i tred tilting my head in front of my monitor's white screen and then it popped out super clear :O

i saw it for a moment after the picture went away then it faded. also it flipped and the blue was horizontal and the yellow was vertical. this is pretty neat!

When I needed to get glasses I did a test that was that way cuz, uh, I was scared to put eye drops... So they said me to put some special glasses (that were probably also polorizers) and tracked my eyes. They showed me a video where I should focus on some bars that were either vertical or horizontal (sus, yeah?). it was slowly harder and harder to see them, up to impossible. Then my mom said those where VERY bold lines, so 100% those glasses did something.

It looks pretty viewable (if that's even a word), I was able to see it clearly, not clear to the point of where it's not blurry, but it's clear, the white light altough starts to block me from seeing the blue part after a while.

I found it way easier to spot the cross for the first time while it is tilting. Because then it moves in relation to the center of vision and changes in vision are always easier to spot for me.

What I saw was something way cooler. I had some polarized sunglasses here and I tried to see the effect, but when I put it and I looked at my phone screen I saw a very cool rainbow pattern with two radial poles and that move depending of the direction and orientation of the screen. I recommend trying if you have any polarized sunglasses. It was very accidental btw.

I've seen this around lights constantly since I was young. Around 12 years old I told my mom about it because I thought there might be something wrong with my eyes and she (being a spiritual lady) told me I see auraa. It's neat to have a scientific explanation for what I'm seeing, because I've never shared her spiritual explanation.

I've been able to see this phenomenon for years. At first it freaked me out and I thought there was something wrong with my eyes and rushed to the eye doctor
