E Ink Carta Plus is the latest generation of screens made by the "electronic paper" technology. Compared to the previous models, this screen has higher resolution and contrast. 300 dpi pixel density is a record for this type of E Ink screens and corresponds to high-quality paper printing. Reading on such screens is as comfortable as on regular paper pages.
Carta 1300 is a technical term for the generation of electronic paper screens of the E Ink corporation. These screens provide more contrast and faster screen refreshing speed than older Carta 1000 screens.
Regal is an operating mode of the screen, allowing to reduce the number of artifacts on the screen within partial refresh. If this function is on, full refresh of the screen while reading text files is not necessary.
MOON Light 2 technology allows you to use the device in the dark or in poor lighting conditions, without any harm to your sight. When using this function, a soft glow of the screen is being created which is optimal for reading in dark rooms. This front light system has a color temperature adjustment, and thanks to the use of Flicker-Free technology, shimmering of the screen is completely absent.
The latest researches have shown that blue light prevents the production of melatonin (daily rhythms regulator), which is necessary for a person to sleep. Therefore, after reading on a glowing screen of an ordinary tablet or smartphone, it is often difficult to fall asleep. The MOON Light 2 allows you to adjust the brightness and color temperature, selecting at your will white light for reading during the daytime, and more yellow for reading before sleeping.
The Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates the flickering of LEDs used in this front light system. In ONYX BOOX E Readers, they are powered by a direct current source. The Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces discomfort and eye fatigue, and reduces the likelihood of headaches caused by long use of the device.
The multi-touch screen provides easy control when reading: page turning with short taps, page moving, two-finger zoom, making notes in the text and usage of additional features. The device allows you to configure tap zones according to user preferences.
Protective ONYX Glass is located over the E Ink screen and protects it from scratches and other damages. The use of this glass made it possible to abandon additional frame edges, so the screen is located flush to the body of the device. It makes the work with the E reader more comfortable and its look more up-to-date. In addition, a special coating reduces the likelihood of glare on the screen.
ONYX Glass is a fundamentally new generation of protective glasses from the ONYX International company. Aluminosilicate glass has increased transparency and ensures the absence of distortion of the original image. The glass is applied on top of the front light layer without an air gap during the manufacturing the display module. Instead of applying a matte layer, which can reduce contrast, 5% etching is used. It provides improved glare protection and does not hamper light passing
Its 8-core processor with 2 GHz clock rate and 2 GB of RAM ensure a comfort work with the most complex documents. And 32 GB of nonvolatile memory together with a microSD slot allow the user to keep in the device a considerable amount of data.
