There is only one possible, well ok two, potential places I can see where the potential for eye strain in some individuals exists. First is the refresh rate of a TFT display. No matter what, any display that constantly refreshes will have the potential to induce some eye fatigue for those sensitive to the that refresh rate. TV is the same way. Second, is some people will not be OK with the contrast and background shading. This, second issue is no different from any current eink display. So, anyone who points to that as problematic is, well, trying to cloud the topic with misdirection.
I think Astak has a very laudable goal here. But for a company that has brought little real product to market yet, the chest thumping and back slapping might be a bit premature. Just ask Leon Lett what happens when one celebrates a tad too soon. Great guy but made a joke out of himself in a HUGE way in front of the biggest worldwide TV audience short of the Olympics. Show us real product and see what we potential customers/users think.
