Abstract

The study mainly discusses the difference between the comfort and visual fatigue in the process of reading with the two different mobile phone screens under the different conditions of the general mobile phone screen and the mobile electronic ink screen, in addition to test the performance difference between the electronic ink screen and the general mobile phone screen. This study simulated the ambient light conditions of the office, randomly selected 20 subjects from18 to 40 years old to explore the difference of reading task performance, flicker fusion frequency, visual fatigue subjective perception and electroencephalogram EEG, etc. under different conditions between the general mobile phone screen and mobile electronic ink screen, and also test the performance difference of them. The experiment adopted within-subjects design, the independent variables was different mobile phone screen (general screen, electronic ink screen), the dependent variable is the performance of the reading task. In summary, the reading experience of mobile phone with electronic ink screen is better when reading, and it is not easy to appear the phenomenon of visual fatigue, and the effect of user experience is better.
