Default [Q] Idea about new screen protector.

Hey everyone I just have a quick idea that I wanted to shoot around and see if you all think it is a good idea or not. We have all seen the privacy screen protectors that limit the viewing angle. But what about one that reverses that and actually increases the viewing angle. Possibly solve the only major flaw that I seen that the G Tab has.

Yup, something tells me screen manufacturers have already put a hefty amount of R&D into such a solution and come up empty handed.

remove the polarization filter from the lcd panel and replace (but the manufacturer would've already put the best possible filter for our lcd, stuff is cheap)... decided to somewhat resurrect this and make a PSA - you cannot just remove the polarizing layer and call it a day - you would need to replace it with a film capable of culminating the light and redirecting it in such a fashion that it still allows an image to be displayed proper.

however, the viewing angles of the lcd are what they are and the polarizing layer is created thusly... sort of dead in the water and why nobody pursued this
