Abstract

Abstract Emissive screens are generally believed to be the main reason for eye fatigue when reading text on displays. This study examines the impact on eye fatigue of the reading style and medium: reflective or emissive. We test three media: paper, LCD (liquid crystal display with backlight), and electronic paper (book reader using electrophoretic reflective display). Eye fatigue levels in a reading task are evaluated under two reading styles (free condition and fixed condition) for the three media by measuring the increment in near point distances after each reading task. Subjects were requested to read a novel for 180 min using the three media. The fixed reading condition yielded a statistically significant increase of the near point distance on the three media, while the free condition showed no such increment, regardless of the medium.

Abstract

The article explores common problems encountered by printer owners. For users who are having troubles with their printers, it is nice to check what the error is and if the printer comes with an LCD display, it usually displays the reason it is unable to function normally. In case of a paper jam, it is advised to turn off the printer and unplug it and afterwards manually remove the jammed paper. Cleaning the printerhead is the most common fix for those having problems with print quality.

Abstract

Electronics is catching up with newspapers. Really. Late last month in Tokyo, Sony took an important leap in this direction by introducing Librie, an e-book reader. The device, which costs $370 and is about the size of a paperback, holds the equivalent of dozens of books, which readers can download from the Web for $2.20 each. Although it's available only in black and white, Librie has the most important characteristic of paper: it reflects natural light. That means it can be read on sunny days or viewed from any angle. You can even choose your own font size. Sony expects to sell 5,000 units a month. Is this finally the beginning of the end of paper?
