Discover Daylight, an Android tablet with a display called "Live Paper", which is similar to the e-ink display but much faster. It is the first product from start-up Daylight Computer and features a new display technology, which aims to solve the problems with e-ink displays, such as the poor refresh rate, while still being readable outdoors without a backlight.
The tablet has a backlight for evening and night use that emits "pure amber light" and is said to have no PWM (pulse width modulation) flickering seen on other displays. Unlike e-ink displays, the LivePaper display offers a refresh rate of 60Hz, which allows for smooth video playback.
This looks very intriguing! However, deep focus and well-being are the reasons I stick to my 'traditional' e-reader (a Kobo Aura One). Its 300 PPI e-ink screen and minimal features ensure I'm not distracted. For those needing more than just a book reader, this device seems fantastic! 😊
The backlight feature and customizable user interface make this tablet appealing for both reading and productivity tasks. The lack of PWM flickering is also a plus for extended use. However, the high price point may limit its appeal to a niche audience.
Saw this on verge - Appreciate the fun approach to gadgets. Not sure it's super helpful for me personally, but good work creating a physical product - that's not an easy feat.
The Daylight DC1 Tablet brings an exciting leap in E-Ink technology with its 60 Hz refresh rate! How does the Daylight DC1 manage to balance high refresh rates with the power efficiency typically associated with E-Ink displays?
The Daylight DC1 Tablet's Live Paper display seems like a great innovation for those who love e-ink but want a smoother, faster experience. I'm eager to try it out and see how it handles tasks like note-taking, reading, and even light web browsing. The combination of e-ink's benefits with a 60hz refresh rate is intriguing, and the Android support opens up a lot of possibilities. Can't wait to learn more!
$800 is a heavy lift for a device like this. I suppose if you value discipline over functionality or features, then maybe it makes sense?
