E Ink Carta Plus is the latest generation of screens made by "electronic paper" technology. Compared to the previous models, this screen has a higher definition and contrast. Pixel density of the screen is 300 dpi that is a record for this type of E Ink screens and corresponds to the high-quality paper printing. Reading on such screens is as comfortable as on regular paper pages.
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 is not needed.
The MOON Light 2 technology enables one 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 is being generated. It also has a color temperature control and, thanks to the use of Flicker-Free technology, the front-light system is perfectly smooth.
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 completely eliminates shimmering of the LEDs used in this screen frontlight 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 eReader.
Display E Ink Carta Plus has a lighter substrate and higher contrast and resolution than any screens of this class. It allows you to read in bright sunlight and has a high redraw speed. The absence of flickering backlight and the principle of image formation using the "electronic ink" method makes reading comfortable for the eyes. The multi-touch touchscreen provides easy-to-read control: taps, page shifting, two-finger zoom, mark up in text and use additional functions.
A protective glass from a well-known Japanese manufacturer ASAHI is located on top of the E Ink screen and protects it from scratches and other damage. The new glass made it possible to abandon additional sides, 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. Plus, a special coating reduces the chance of glare on the screen.
The 8-core processor with 1.8 GHz clock rate and 2 GB of RAM ensures comfortable work with difficult documents. And 32 GB of nonvolatile memory allows the user to store a whole library.
Thanks to a built-in Bluetooth module of the 5.0 standard you can connect an external keyboard or other external devices.
