16-Inch Laptop Privacy Screen with Nanolouver Technology, Blue Light Reduction, and Reversible Glossy-to-Matte Design for 16:10 Widescreen Displays
The 3M BP160W1B is a Bright Screen privacy filter for 16-inch laptops with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The filter blacks out the display from side views beyond a 60-degree angle using 3M's proprietary Advanced Nanolouver technology, while transmitting up to 85 percent of the screen's light to the user. The 16-inch 16:10 form factor is used by performance laptops from multiple manufacturers, and the BP160W1B is sized to match these larger displays. Up to 25 percent brighter than standard black privacy screens, the Bright Screen filter keeps text and images clear for the user while blocking visual access from anyone outside the direct viewing angle.
The BP160W1B is reversible with a glossy side for maximum display clarity and a matte side that reduces glare and fingerprint visibility in bright office environments. The larger 16-inch display increases the viewing angle exposure compared to smaller laptops, making privacy protection more critical for users who handle sensitive data in shared spaces. The filter is touch-compatible for laptops with touchscreen displays and provides blue light reduction without distorting on-screen colors. Includes COMPLY Flip Attach and adhesive strips for two mounting options.
Where the BP160W1B Fits
- Open-plan offices and coworking spaces where the 16-inch display's wide viewing area makes on-screen content visible to anyone seated at a neighboring desk or walking past, and the larger screen exposes more content to side-angle viewing
- Business travel and public spaces where working on a 16-inch laptop in airports, trains, and coffee shops puts confidential client data within view of anyone seated nearby, and the larger display is particularly visible in tight seating arrangements
- Healthcare and finance workstations where HIPAA, PCI, and other compliance frameworks require visual privacy controls to prevent unauthorized viewing of patient records, financial accounts, and personally identifiable information
What the BP160W1B Delivers
- Sized for 16-inch 16:10 displays: The filter matches the 16:10 aspect ratio common on modern 16-inch performance laptops. Complete coverage with no trimming and no gap between the filter edge and the display bezel.
- 85% light transmission, 25% brighter than standard: The Bright Screen Nanolouver technology passes up to 85 percent of the display's light output while blacking out side views beyond 60 degrees. Text stays sharp, colors stay accurate.
- Reversible glossy and matte surfaces: Flip the filter to choose between a glossy finish for maximum clarity and a matte finish that reduces glare and fingerprint visibility in brightly lit environments.
- COMPLY Flip Attach and adhesive strip mounting: Two included mounting options let you snap the filter on and off with the flip attachment for frequent sharing, or secure it with adhesive strips for a semi-permanent installation.
- Blue light reduction with touch compatibility: The filter reduces blue light emission from the display without color distortion, and the touch-compatible surface maintains full touchscreen functionality on compatible laptops.
