privacy screens

Workspace sight blockers

Privacy screens are physical filters attached to electronic displays that narrow the viewing angle, making screen content visible only to someone directly in front.

They prevent visual eavesdropping in public spaces—airports, coffee shops, open offices: I use a privacy screen on my laptop when working on planes.

The term also applies to architectural elements like fences or plantings that block sightlines between properties.
