What is E Ink on-cell Kaleido Plus?

E Ink on-cell Kaleido Plus is the latest generation of color screens made using "electronic paper" technology with better specifications. In comparison with the previous generation the contrast of these screens in color mode with the front light on is 30% and color enhancement is 15% higher. The contrast in black and white mode became 30% higher. Thanks to their ability to display 4096 colors, these screens are convenient for reading literature and ebooks with colored images. The pixel density is 300 dpi in black-and-white mode and 100 dpi in color mode. Reading on this screen is as comfortable as reading from the page of a good paper book.

Regal is an operating mode of the screen, allowing to reduce the number of artifacts on the screen when it is partially refreshed. If this function is on, full refresh of the screen is not needed.

Screen lighting system

The MOON Light technology allows you to use the device in the dark or under poor lighting conditions. When this function is in use, soft luminescence of the screen comfortable for reading in dark rooms and safe for your sight is being generated. And thanks to the use of Flicker-Free technology this front-light system is perfectly smooth.

What is MOON Light 2?

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 from the glowing screen of an ordinary tablet or smartphone, it is often difficult to fall asleep. The MOON Light 2 backlight allows you to independently adjust the brightness of the cold and warm light 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 device has two sensor layers. You can turn pages of e-books and zoom documents with intuitive two-finger movements. In addition, the Wacom sensor layer is located under the E Ink panel. Thanks to this, you can make notes on the margins and sketches using a special stylus which comes with the device. The stylus recognizes 4096 degrees of pressure and allows you to draw with extreme accuracy.

Additional screen protection

Additional screen protection

Protective glass from a well-known Japanese manufacturer ASAHI is placed on top of the E Ink screen and protects it from scratches and other damages. The new glass eliminated the need for additional edges, so the screen is flush with the body of the device. This makes the work with the e-book more comfortable, and its appearance more modern. In addition, a special coating reduces the likelihood of glare on the screen.
