The article discusses the detrimental effects of screen time on sleep quality and eye strain due to blue light emitted from devices. Although advancements like paper-like screens exist, their color accuracy limits practicality for users. A new hybrid monitor from Hannspree merges reflective and transmissive technology, allowing users to reflect ambient light in well-lit areas while providing a dim backlight option for darker settings. This dual functionality may alleviate eye strain and improve user experience, although certain limitations remain.
There has been a lot of attention being paid to the general lack of quality sleep that today's people are experiencing, and a large part of the blame is being put on computer and phone screens.
E Ink displays, in contrast, are reflective screens because they rely on reflecting ambient light, just like how paper works.
Almost all of the LCD and OLED screens we use today are what are called "transmissive" displays because they require some form of backlighting to be even visible.
The Hannspree Hybri monitor tries to combine the best of both worlds, reflecting ambient light under bright conditions and offering dim backlight for darker environments.
