And there is a difference between staring into a bulb and staring into a reflection of the bulb as it appears twice as far away... and what has that got with anything anyway as I explicitly excluded the effect of a mirror... it is a different form of reflectivity to that from a DIFFUSE surface such as e-ink or a book... how many books have you got that reflect an exact image of nearly 100% of the light/image acting on them???  |
Not being a migraine sufferer, I can't relate. Sucks to be you. Edit: While LCDs may be triggers for migraines, if you're not prone to migraines LCDs will not make you a migraine sufferer.
Reflective vs. transmissive, you don't get to have it both ways. Light reflected off an eink surface is diffused by the surface. Light transmitted through an LCD panel is diffused by the panel. Both are diffuse light. They are the same.
