When the e-ink screen ereader falls down to the ground, It's not like an ordinary book but a falling bookstore

"Wow!" The sister shouted, "My ereader, my ereader fell to the ground!"

Her younger brother just jumped out of his sister's bed. When he heard his sister shouting, he was stunned and standing there looking at his sister.

It turned out that when he jumped and the mattress bounced, the reader in the bed then had been pushed up and fell to the ground.
Brother knew he was in trouble. This e-reader is a birthday gift their uncle bought for his sister the day before yesterday. It was still new.
His sister hurriedly picked up the reader and checked it. It seems that there was no big problem. She turned to the little boy and said loudly, "Go to the living room and play with your toys! Don't come to me! "

The little boy cried and went out. His sister looked at the ereader painfully and wiped it with a handkerchief. She turned it on and confirmed that there was really no problem, so she put it in her bag.
She thought to herself that on the Internet it was said that this gadget was very fall resistant. It seemed true.

Are e-book readers fall resistant?

Everyone who buys new electronic equipment will probably protect it very carefully and always be afraid of breaking it. Especially for mobile phones, tablet computers, and of course e-book readers. These electronic products with screens are taken extra care of by people for fear of their being scratched or broken.

Since the upgrading of electronic products has been accelerated, people often chase new trends. It is not a fact for most people to maintain the same protection as at the beginning when buying an electronic product. So, more or less, you will always encounter the situation of device falling.

Can an e-book reader, or especially its screen, stand a fall? From the feedback of people on the Internet, some people insist that their e-book reader is very resistant to falling. They say that they have fallen many times. Although there are many scratches, they are still in good condition. But some of the other people say that when the screen of e-ink screen products is touched, it feels so soft, and they think they are not resistant to falling. And some people show pictures of all kinds of broken e-readers. The fault is generally that the screen is broken or there are black and white lines on it.

E-ink itself is actually very resistant to falling

The core component of an e-ink screen is made of small capsules, each of which is with a diameter smaller than hair, and contains liquid and small colored spheres. Because of its small size, it has natural protection against macro scale extrusion. Many capsules are tightly covered on a film, which is the core display component of the e-ink screen, and that is the e-ink film. The film is soft and has very good compressive and flexural properties. It can be cut into different shapes to make a screen.

However, e-ink film alone can not form a screen. It needs an electric drive to display and change the content. So, a complete display module needs to combine electronic ink film with TFT display control. Therefore, the type of TFT substrate has a great impact on the whole display screen. If the TFT substrate is made of plastic, the whole display template is soft and has very good compression and bending resistance to falling. This is the practical way of implementing flexible e-paper, which is mostly used in large screen readers and wearable devices.
However, if the TFT substrate is a glass substrate, it will be similar to the general mobile phone. When it is dropped and impacted, the glass of the TFT substrate may be broken. Although the e-ink film will not be damaged, the function of the whole screen has been damaged and various screen faults have occurred
. Of course, strictly speaking, evaluating the fall resistance of a screen should not only be done on only one part, but the whole. And it is generally believed that the falling resistance of glass substrate screens is worse than that of soft screens.

Take care of electronic products that can be used for a long time

She used this device for more than three years. When she finally replaced it with another one, the ereader had no problem in reading except that it was a little old. The little boy who grew up a lot more than three years ago begged the old device from his sister.If his sister did not remind him, he didn't remember the day he made the reader fall to the ground. Now he can use it to watch his favorite comics.
