|---|---|---|
| Blue light | very low (3% of its light) | Very little blue light, so it is gentle on your body clock at night. |
| Night use | Good | Dim and low in blue light, so a rosewood screen works as a night light without being harsh. |
| Text on it | White text · 13.5:1 | Excellent contrast for captions or signs (WCAG AAA). |
| Display test | green and blue switched off | A stuck-on green or blue sub-pixel shows as a bright speck. |
What people use a rosewood screen for
Rosewood is dark enough that a rosewood screen gives off very little light — on an OLED or AMOLED phone the dim pixels also draw little power, which makes it a good always-on or bedside screen.
As a saturated color, rosewood makes a bold backdrop for product photos, thumbnails and streams, and a strong mood light for a desk or party.
Red screens are the classic choice for anything that has to stay visible without wrecking night vision — amateur astronomers, photographers in a darkroom-style setup and pilots use a dim red field to read by while their eyes stay adapted to the dark. A saturated red also lights only the red sub-pixels of a display, which makes it a fast way to spot a dead green or blue sub-pixel, and it doubles as instant stage, party or "alert" lighting.
As a test pattern, a dark rosewood field is best for spotting backlight bleed and IPS glow on an LCD, or stuck "always-on" pixels on an OLED.
