Abstract
Abstract A display visor for attaching to a display unit of a computer work station and for minimizing the magnitude and amount and intensity of reflected light beams caused by light beams projected by the screen of a computer display unit. The display visor includes a left wall having a left inner layer and a right wall having a right inner layer and a top wall having a top inner layer. Each inner layer is a granular layer of a substantially black coloring for diffusing a part of the projected light beam in inner surface recesses of each inner layer and for absorbing another part of the projected light beam in the substantially black coloring.
