I'm familiar with that from the Sony reader, and I think it's more related to operating temperature than light itself. The effect is gradual and spread consistently over the entire display/range of grays.

The above issue seems obviously different to me.

(It is also separate from the refresh "issue" which is most obviously when writing: the screen slowly turns gray-ish, but as soon as you refresh it (by pulling up a menu for example) it's back to crisp black & white.)
