E Ink Brings Healthier Screen Time to the Red Carpet

As people spend an average of 7 to 13 hours per day on screens— celebrities or not—the impact of screen time on eye health has become a significant concern. E Ink’s technology aims to address this by providing an alternative to traditional blue light-emitting devices. In the Giving Suite, E Ink showcased its range of eReaders, eNotes, and ePaper tablets that prioritize eye comfort by mimicking the appearance of printed paper, reducing eye strain, and offering a refreshing approach to digital interactions.

E Ink’s interactive display attracted the attention of stars like Viola Davis, Bowen Yang, Janel Moloney, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, and more, who took time to learn about and test out E Ink’s technology. Through hands-on experiences with these products, guests got a glimpse of a digital world that harmonizes with eye health—whether for reading, writing, or creative projects.
