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 high-quality paper printing. Reading on such screens is as comfortable as on regular paper pages.
SNOW Field (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 necessary.
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.
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.
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 reader.
The E Ink Carta Plus screen has a lighter base and higher contrast than any screen of this class. It allows you to read in a bright sunlight and has a high screen refresh speed. The absence of flickering front light and the principle of image formation using “electronic ink” makes reading eye-friendly. This multi-touch screen provides easy control when reading: page turning with short taps, page moving, two-finger zoom, making annotations in the text and usage of additional options.
Protective ONYX Glass is placed over the E Ink matrix and protects it from scratches and other damages. The new glass made it possible to abandon additional frame edges, so the screen is located flush to the body of the device. It makes the work with the E Reader more comfortable and its look more up-to-date. 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 4-core Qualcomm processor with 2 GHz clock rate and 2 GB of RAM ensure a comfort work with the most complex documents. And 32 GB of nonvolatile memory together with a microSD slot allow the user to store a considerable library of favorite books.
