e-ink display
Electronic reading screen
An e-ink display is a screen technology that mimics the appearance of printed paper, using tiny capsules of black and white particles that rearrange when electric current is applied.
Unlike backlit screens, e-ink reflects ambient light and holds an image without continuous power, making it ideal for e-readers: The Kindle's e-ink display is easy on the eyes.
The low power consumption and paper-like readability reduce eye strain during extended reading, though e-ink refreshes too slowly for video.
