It's tin so thin it's transparent. It reduces panel brightness/whiteness a little which is why almost all the early eink had no touch and then IR touch (neither has extra layers).
The later Carta screens can have the touch integrated by E ink Corp for a slight contrast improvement (presumably on the top of the light-pipe layer. Other capacitive touch is using a 3rd party panel/layer on top of the eink light-pipe layer for the front lighting. |

7 hours with the Libra 2? That seems exceptionally low, or am I misunderstanding what you wrote. I am a voracious reader and get many days of use with screen lighting around 25% and wifi on.

I'm still on the fence with the Libra Colour. Indoors, where the front light outshines the ambient even 18%-25% gives the background a whitish touch and it is basically ok. The colors are a novelty and quite pleasing
In sunlight, however, the screen turns grey and even at 100% the front light is not bright enough to compete against the sun. I'm still trying to like it. The buttons on the Libra are much snappier than the ones on the Forma. Last edited by Bald Eagle; 05-16-2024 at 11:26 AM. |
