Discover Daylight, an Android tablet with a display called "Live Paper", which is similar to the e-ink display but much faster. It is the first product from start-up Daylight Computer and features a new display technology, which aims to solve the problems with e-ink displays, such as the poor refresh rate, while still being readable outdoors without a backlight. The tablet has a backlight for evening and night use that emits "pure amber light" and is said to have no PWM (pulse width modulation) flickering seen on other displays. Unlike e-ink displays, the LivePaper display offers a refresh rate of 60Hz, which allows for smooth video playback.

Your move reMarkable ♟️

@sentry_co This is what I thought. I have been waiting for a new version of reMarkable for so long and it has still not arrived. But in this case it looks like checkmate :-)

@sgroiga reMarkable 3 is coming. They just moved into new fancy offices, and biz is booming. So it's on its way for sure. Im hoping for backlight and some chill AI copilot. 😸 I love tech like Daylight and Remarkable. Purposeful and minimal bloat.

@sentry_co reMarkable did not include backlighting because the goal was to have "the world's thinnest tablet", but I absolutely agree, backlighting is definitely a game changer! I love the idea of AI for example to improving a sketch

@sgroiga Yeh. Sketching and writing. And reading out loud, like audio books. When your eyes needs a rest 😏... remarkable is 0.47cm and amazon scribe is 0.58cm. I think I would be fine adding 1.1 millimetre to get backlight.

$800 is a heavy lift for a device like this. I suppose if you value discipline over functionality or features, then maybe it makes sense?

@chrismessina Yes, I absolutely agree, it's not cheap. It is a niche product, not a mass product like iPads that are produced in very large quantities, so it gets much more expensive.

Congrats for the launch!

Finally, an e-ink tablet that doesn't make me choose between speed and eye health. The DC1 is a true productivity booster!

The backlight feature and customizable user interface make this tablet appealing for both reading and productivity tasks. The lack of PWM flickering is also a plus for extended use. However, the high price point may limit its appeal to a niche audience.

This looks very intriguing! However, deep focus and well-being are the reasons I stick to my 'traditional' e-reader (a Kobo Aura One). Its 300 PPI e-ink screen and minimal features ensure I'm not distracted. For those needing more than just a book reader, this device seems fantastic! 😊

Congrats! Slow e-ink displays were such a UX disaster 🙈

@jaroslaw_ceborski I do not think so. I mean for most user cases you read something or write something, I do not think to get big trouble with the UX - I like a lot of the reMarkable. But of course this is a completely new UX.

The Daylight DC1 Tablet brings an exciting leap in E-Ink technology with its 60 Hz refresh rate! How does the Daylight DC1 manage to balance high refresh rates with the power efficiency typically associated with E-Ink displays?

@p_val This is the big advantage of Eink compared to tablets. If you use your tablet all day, you are forced to charge it at the end of the day. With Daylight this is not the case, you can use it for several days without worrying about recharging.

Saw this on verge - Appreciate the fun approach to gadgets. Not sure it's super helpful for me personally, but good work creating a physical product - that's not an easy feat.

@tom_bruining It is not just the physical product, you also have to develop the software to manage/edit your notes or documents. As you can see, there is a lot more work behind 😏
