Or to put it another way, what is the factual basis that you have to indicate that LCD's produce the same levels of eyestrain as either paper or epaper? Enquiring minds want to know.  |
I have no more evidence than you provide in your hypothosis that the ocillations in LCDs cause eystrain moreso than static e-ink. I could conjecture that LCDs provide a uniformly lit viewing image, always above the minimum viewing level your Mom used to chide you with: "Turn on a light while you're reading or you'll go blind". Thus, e-ink causes more eyestrain. But of course this is just conjecture like your untested hypothosis. Its a myth until there is science to support it and if I were betting, I'd bet on LCDs, but that's an unpopular notion with the people who've invested their hard-earned money on an e-ink device and need to justify their purchase.
