E Ink Carta is the latest development of the E Ink company. This is a display made using the "electronic paper" technology. Reading from this screen is as comfortable as from a regular paper page. Compared to the displays of the previous series, it has a lighter background and higher contrast.
Regal is screen mode that allows to reduce the number of artifacts on the E Ink screen when it is partially refreshed. If this function is on, a full refresh of the screen is not necessary when reading simple text documents.
The Note Air 3 has two sensor layers: over the screen surface is located a multi-touch capacitive layer, thanks to which you can turn pages of e-books and zoom documents with an intuitive two-finger pinch. In addition, a Wacom sensor layer is located under the E Ink panel. Thanks to this, you can make notes on the margins and sketch using a special stylus which comes with the device. The stylus recognizes 4096 degrees of pressure and allows you to draw with extreme accuracy.
The MOON Light 2 technology allows you to use the device in the dark or in poor light conditions without harming your sight. This function creates a soft glow on the screen that is optimal for dark rooms. The front light has a color temperature adjustment and has no flickering thanks to the Flicker-Free technology.
The latest researches have shown that blue light interferes with the production of melatonin (a regulator of circadian rhythms), 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 frontlit system allows you to independently adjust the brightness of the cold and warm LEDs, choosing at will both a whiter light for reading during the day and a more yellow light for reading before going to bed. The Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates the flickering of the LEDs used in this frontlight. This is due to the use of a constant voltage source. The Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces discomfort and eye fatigue and reduces the likelihood of headaches caused by prolonged use of the E Reader.
The Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates shimmering of the LEDs used in this screen frontlit system. This is due to the use of a DC power supply. The Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces discomfort for sight and eye fatigue and decreases the chances of headache, caused by long use of the device.
The BOOX software allows you to open a number of different text and image file formats. While reading, you can change the style and the size of the font, the position of the pages, add bookmarks and zoom documents at your wish.
Protective ONYX Glass is located over the E Ink screen and protects it from scratches and other damage. The new glass made it possible to abandon additional screen borders, so the screen is flush with the body of the device. This makes working with this E Reader more comfortable and its appearance is more modern. In addition, a special coating reduces the likelihood of glare on the screen.
ONYX Glass is a fundamentally new generation of protective glasses from ONYX. 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.
The 8-core processor of 2.4 GHz clock rate together with 4 GB of RAM ensure a comfort work with any, even the most complex documents. And 64 GB of non-volatile memory together with support for microSD memory cards up to 2 TB allow you to store a large amount of data directly in the device.
The software of the E Reader allows you to install additional dictionary databases in the Stardict format at your wish.
The device has a fingerprint scanner integrated into the power on/off button. It identifies the user and ensures the protection of his/her personal data.
Thanks to a built-in Bluetooth 5.0 module, you can connect external devices.
The device supports OTG thanks to which you can connect additional peripherals that do not require drivers.
A built-in G-sensor automatically selects a correct text orientation when the device is rotated. Thanks to this option, you can change the orientation of the E Reader and the image will be restructured automatically.
