-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We can receive a huge amount of information from the Internet every day, and many people even deal with mobile phones and computers all day long, enjoying the feeling of surfing the Internet. At the same time, many tasks are gradually becoming digital and electronic. In the past, word processing and data statistics might have to be calculated manually, but after having a computer, open Excel and enter the formula, and the statistical results will come out instantly, greatly improving the efficiency of work.
The rapid popularization of computers and the Internet has brought about a huge change in our lives and work, and at the same time, it has caused continuous harm to our bodies without realizing it. Although electronic radiation has been discussed by many people, there is almost no harm. What is more worthy of our attention should be the damage caused to the eyes and vision by various display devices. A decade or twenty years ago, I rarely saw teenagers wearing glasses walking on the street. Now myopia is quite common among the student group. There are many children in junior high school and even elementary school who cannot do without glasses. Some may not pay attention to their eyes when they were young, and some are genetic. Therefore, the concept of eye protection has been constantly mentioned, and many display devices often use this as a selling point.

At the same time, ink screen , which has eye protection characteristics, has also been rapidly popularized in recent years, and has gradually entered the mobile phone and tablet fields from the original e-book reader . Nowadays, ink screens have begun to enter the field of large-sized displays, further covering everyone's work scenarios. So, is it worth buying a large-size eye protection display? Do you really need such a product?
ink screen began to be applied on large-screen displays
In 2007, Amazon launched the Kindle e-paper book reader, which has a small and portable appearance and a massive Amazon book resource. It became popular all over the world as soon as it was launched, and it also made the ink screen popular. Afterwards, similar ink screen electric paper book products on the market sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and China's China Literature, Hanwang, Wenshi, etc. have also launched similar electric paper book products. At that time, many people followed the craze and bought electric book reader , but most people ended up becoming a instant noodles artifact, and the usage rate was not as high as expected.

There is not much room for development in the e-paper book market, so the manufacturer pointed the finger at the office market. By increasing the screen size of the product and adding handwriting functions, it has created e-paper book handwritten books/office books. The selling point of this type of product is to have a reading and handwriting experience close to physical paper, aiming to bring users a different office experience. At the same time, some manufacturers combine ink screens with smartphones, such as Hisense Reading Mobile Phones A7, A9, etc., so that you can get a more eye-protective experience when reading online anytime and anywhere.
Now, ink screens have further explored the field of large-sized displays. Some time ago, Philips launched a monitor product 24B1D5600, which is equipped with a 23.8-inch color screen and a 13.3-inch ink screen. The two screens support independent switch control. The purpose is to solve the problems of LCD screen not protecting the eyes, low refresh rate with ink screen, and single color display through the dual-screen design. The combination of dual-screen can bring a new user experience. When you are watching pictures and video content on the LCD screen, you can move the text and book content to the ink screen to watch. It is indeed a good idea, but seeing its price of 5,999 yuan, everything seems not so necessary.

Philips is not the first to make a large-size ink screen display. As early as the end of 2020, domestic manufacturer Dashang Technology launched the world's first 25.3-inch ink screen display Paperlike 253, equipped with E-ink electronic ink technology, has a resolution of 3200*1800, and is equipped with Turbo high-refreshold patented technology to improve the delay characteristics of the ink screen. It is said that it can achieve similar response speeds for LCD screens. Unfortunately, the price of this product is quite expensive. The version with a bracket is priced at 13,999 yuan. Even today, it is still sold at 8,899 yuan, which is not something that ordinary consumers can afford. At the end of last year, Arangshi Technology also released a similar ink screen monitor Boox MiraPro, which is also priced at 8,999 yuan.

At this stage, the cost of ink screen display is really very high, and the price is 3 to 5 times that of ordinary monitors. Even if you want to try it out, you will be directly persuaded to withdraw by the too high threshold. Secondly, the ink screen can only be displayed in black and white, and the usage scenarios are relatively limited, making it difficult to meet the different usage needs in daily life. Xiao Lei thinks that buying a large-size ink screen monitor alone is really not worth much. Buying a slightly larger ink screen handwritten book with an ordinary monitor may be much more economical.
Do you really need a large-size ink monitor?
Currently, many color LCD monitors have the function of filtering blue light, but it is difficult to achieve complete filtering. Some products have large color aberrations, strobes and other problems. Long-term use is indeed easy to cause damage to the human eye. The ink screen is thanks to its unique luminous technology. The screen has no blue light and can achieve a display effect close to paper, making it more eye-protection when viewing text content. At the same time, it also has many characteristics such as low power consumption, energy saving, power saving, ultra-thin foldable and bending, and does have better display effects than LCD monitors in certain specific situations.

So, for eye protection only, ink screens do have unique advantages, which cannot be compared with LCD monitors. However, in addition to eye protection and energy saving, ink screens are also difficult to compare with LCD displays in terms of refresh rate, response speed and display effect. The two are actually a complementary relationship to some extent. Even though the ink screen display really has outstanding eye protection effects, the product is not necessarily suitable for most people. If you are considering buying an ink screen monitor, you may need to figure out whether you really need it and whether you meet the audience of this type of product.
Xiao Lei saw in the product comment section of Dashang Technology Paperlike 253 on JD platform, that many of the people who purchased this product are masters and doctoral students, scientific researchers, programmers, and office workers who need to process text or chart content for a long time. The most common comments are that dry eye syndrome has improved significantly after changing the ink screen. The problems of soreness, swelling and painful eyes that were prone to occur in the past are much better now. is visible. For users who really have this need, the ink screen display is really helpful to them.

However, for media workers like Xiao Lei, although they have been dealing with mobile phones and computers all day long, they have also read and browsed a lot of information content, most of them contain pictures and even videos. If all of these contents are displayed on the ink screen, a lot of important information will be lost. In addition, some content creators need to draw pictures, create videos, etc. on the computer. Even if they feel uncomfortable when staring at the screen for a long time, they cannot transfer their work to a colorless ink screen. Therefore, although the ink screen display is good, the audience is indeed relatively narrow, especially with the continuous development of the Internet, there is very little work to completely separate from pictures and videos, and color display is really important.
Xiao Lei believes that a two-in-one monitor such as Philips 24B1D5600 may be more in line with the needs of most people. The two screens can display color and black and white at the same time. The display window can be adjusted according to different contents to obtain the most suitable user experience. The disadvantage is that the ink screen part on it cannot be removed separately, and does not support touch or handwriting input. It can only be used for display purposes, and it is not yet imperfect. Moreover, the price of the product is much more expensive than the mainstream 23.8-inch monitor, making it difficult for consumers to pay for it.

In Xiao Lei's opinion, the most suitable solution is to choose an electronic paper office book with mainstream LCD displays. The price of large-size ink screen electric paper books on the market is around 3,000 yuan, which is much cheaper than buying an ink screen monitor. Moreover, the product is very light and thin, and can be carried to different scenarios for use, making it more flexible. The only drawback is that the content is not as direct as the computer expansion screen. You need to send the file from the computer to the electronic paper book before opening it. However, with the gradual improvement of cross-screen interconnection and other functions, this difficulty should be overcome soon. If you want to buy a large-size ink screen monitor, it is better to experience the large-size ink screen electric paper book first.
display industry has almost touched a bottleneck so far, so some manufacturers are also eager to seek breakthroughs and innovations. Eye protection ink screen is indeed a great highlight and can significantly improve the user's experience. However, product design still needs to meet the actual demand scenarios. Two products should not be forcibly "stitched" in order to achieve a certain function. If the experience is not improved, the cost of using will be increased. Large-size ink screen displays do have great development potential, but how to design and improve the functions of the products still require continuous verification by manufacturers and multiple market inspections.
