A Study of Reading Fatigue

Abstract:

Compared to traditional printed books, digital e-book readers may cause consumers to read overtime and reading fatigue or even vision injury. Therefore, it is needed to study on reading fatigue based on different reading illuminants, i.e. under brighter, normal, dim, and LED lighting conditions, and different book content carriers, i.e. printed bond paper, Kindle, and iPad, to evaluate degrees of reading fatigue. Overall, the results showed that the reading illuminants are critical and highly affect vision fatigue; especially the LED light resulted in greater reading fatigue. Printed paper can cause less degree of fatigue or even no vision fatigue at all as long as with sufficient illuminant.
