The electronic ink screen only consumes some power during page flipping and other operations. If the display content is not refreshed, even if the power is turned off, the image on the display screen can still be retained. That is to say, if the page is not understood, it will not consume power after reading for half a day, so it is very energy-saving.
The current electronic ink screen is only 1.2mm thick, and the thinner the screen, the more effective it is to reduce the thickness of the device, making it lighter and thinner. It is precisely because of this feature that it is possible for Huawei P8 to implement an electronic ink screen back cover.
The black and white contrast of the electronic ink screen is very high, so it is still clearly visible in strong light. It looks like real paper, without the reflection of the LCD screen, and can be seen more clearly in places with strong light.
Traditional LCD screens may flicker due to continuous refresh, although the eye may not be able to detect it. However, this phenomenon objectively exists, which is also a major cause of eye fatigue when watching the screen. But due to its inherent advantage in working principle, the electronic ink screen no longer changes once the screen is refreshed, greatly reducing eye fatigue.
