Privacy filter

A privacy filter or privacy screen is a panel or filter placed over a display, used to protect private data on the screen. A privacy filter makes it difficult or impossible for someone to see the screen without being directly in front of it. The picture shows a 3M privacy filter being placed on a flat-panel display.

The term privacy filter may also describe a privacy shutter used to cover a webcam on a laptop.
