I was under the impression that eink screens had no need for screen blankers as they used a color shift technology to prevent burnin. I am still operating on the old school thinking with CRT's you needed screen blankers to prevent screen burn in, it seems to me that sinceh tadvent of LCDs and eink there are no need for screen blankers.
