E Ink tablets offer paper-like screens for reading and drawing tasks
Reports compare E Ink tablet displays to standard iPad screens regarding power consumption and eye comfort.
Display technology differences
E Ink displays use tiny physical particles to show images instead of built-in light sources. This reflective technology makes the screen easier on the eyes during long reading sessions. The display does not require power to maintain an image once it is on-screen.
Suitable use cases
These devices make the most sense when reading and drawing are the primary goals for a user. E Ink technology shines outdoors better than conventional emissive displays found on mainstream tablets. Several new tablets and smartphones have recently entered the market with these screens.
