Is the Kompakt E-ink display flicker-free?

Updated 28 Sep 2026
Short answerYes. The Kompakt E-ink display is flicker-free and meets IEEE Std 1789-2015.

Yes. The Kompakt E-ink display is flicker-free and meets IEEE Std 1789-2015, the IEEE recommended practice for limiting flicker in LED lighting to reduce health risks to viewers.

Why E-ink is easy on the eyes

An E-ink screen works like printed paper. It only changes when the picture changes, and holds a still image without constantly redrawing it. That is why reading on Kompakt feels calm, even in daylight.

What the standard covers

IEEE Std 1789-2015 sets limits for flicker from LED light sources. On Kompakt it applies to the light that lets you read in the dark.
