What the MOON Light 2 screen front light system is...
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. MOON Light 2 allows you to adjust the brightness of cold and warm LED lights independently, choosing at will white light for reading during the daytime, and more yellow for reading before sleeping. The Flicker-Free technology, based the use of a DC power supply, makes it possible to avoid shimmering of the LEDs which significantly reduces discomfort for sight and eye fatigue while long reading with the screen light on.
Screen front light system
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.
Flicker-Free
Flicker-Free technology completely eliminates the flickering of LEDs used in this front light system. This is due to the use of a direct current source. Flicker-Free technology significantly reduces discomfort and eye fatigue and reduces the likelihood of headaches caused by long use of the device.
Unique form factor
The screen with the 2:1 aspect ratio makes it possible to bring the appearance of the E Reader as close as possible to a smartphone.
Screen auto-rotate function
A built-in G-sensor automatically selects the 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.
Touch control

High speed of screen refresh
The new graphics processor with BOOX Super Refresh technology provides high-speed of screen refresh and smooth movement of objects on the screen.
Additional screen protection
Protective ONYX Glass is applied onto the E Ink screen and protects it from scratches and other damages. 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.
What ONYX Glass is...
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.
