Opposite of privacy filter for screen?

Are there any devices that make laptops EASIER to see from angles and
distances?

We've got some wireless laptops that students check out for small-group
study, and the viewing angles are not good. We can't have any permanent
2nd monitors because these laptops get used in a variety of locations.

Thanks!

Never seen one (and I was a product manager for LCD displays at one
time, so I'm aware of most things that are possible).

Modern laptop screens work by using two polarized sheets of glass 90
degrees out of phase with each other. Using this design, the only way to
made it better at angles is to use a lens in front of the screen to
diffuse the light.
