Silent Night with Night Light

Posted: Tuesday, December 15, 2015

179

Any time is a good time to read, but at night is perhaps the best.
What better way to drift off to sleep than with a great book? Our
readers agree. Looking at reading time across the world, we see
that activity peaks between 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm local time.
But we also know looking at a bright screen before bed can be
hard on your eyes. Cue the announcement!
Today were introducing Night Light, a new feature that makes
night time reading more enjoyable and easier on the eyes. When
turned on, Night Light gradually filters blue light from your
screen, replacing it with a warm, amber light as the sun sets.
Night Light automatically adapts to the amount of natural
sunlight outside based on the time of day, giving you just the
right temperature and brightness. The color adjustment is more
comfortable on your eyes and greatly improves low-light night
reading.

Give us feedback in our Product

Forums.

Night Light is rolling out to Android and iOS readers now, and
turning it on is easy. To activate Night Light on your phone or
tablet, update your Google Play Books app to the latest version
through Google Play or the App Store. Then open a book and turn
on the Night Light mode option (youll see a pop up in the app).
After that, Night Light will always adjust to the perfect setting.
We hope Night Light will help you drift off into a peaceful
slumber once you finish just one more chapter.

It's in the font menu at the top. Just tap the
edge of the page near the top, the A icon, and
then toggle it off.

Nice, I look forward to trying out Night Light. Any chance
of able to fully customise font colour and background?
Also being able to sort books by series and series order
would be very much appreciated.

Again another +1 for this to be a built in

platform wide facility. It's a bit of a shock to
the eyes after coming out of books to be
blasdted by the sudden brightness of the
home screen even if your home screen is
predominantly black. Indeed wouldn't it be
nice on laptops too.

I am happy to see that someone is finally paying
attention to issues related to display screen lighting! I
have tried so many times - unsuccessfully - over the last
7 or 8 years to get someone's attention at Google.
But, this app doesn't use all available knowledge.
A much better option for reading near bedtime while not
supressing the melatonin release you need for good
sleep cycle maintenance is to simply have light
characters on a dark background! (yes, INTENSE blue
http://officialandroid.blogspot.mx/2015/12/silentnightwithnightlight.html

8/15

light from the sun for example, does stress the macula;
and yes, the supression of melatonin is a bit stronger
with blue wavelengths; but it is the SUMMED effect of
display screen light that matters, so it is far more
important to darken the BACKGROUND a lot (it occupies
most of the screen area), and leave bright easy to read
characters that lessen eyestrain... and the level of blue
light is too low to damage the macula)
Light characters on a dark background ...now that hits
the spot!
Reply

Mr. Ed December 16, 2015 at 10:31 AM

This pertains to Google's home page:
I use a dark screen with light characters when reading
before going to sleep to keep from suppressing my
brain's timely release of melatonin. I've learned that
when I'm exposed to bright light just before going to
sleep at my normal time, I feel like crap if I have to wake
up at the normal time, and then it's hard to get to sleep
the next day at the normal time!
It is well known that bright light before your normal sleep
time PUSHES BACK your normal sleep cycle so that you
don't feel ready to wake up when the alarm goes off (if
you even need an alarm clock, a retarded circadian sleep
rythym is the probable cause! It is normal to wake up
refreshed within a few minutes of the same time each
day if your rythyms are in sync.)
Well, if you have to do a search at night on Google with
your background set to a dark color, you encounter an
immediate problem: your Google search page doesn't
backlight the search term field, but leaves it the same as
your deliberately chosen dark background. This means
that the dark characters which get typed into the search
field are virtually invisible. You can't see what you're
typing!
The obvious solution would be to force a white or light
background in the search field so that the dark
characters you type become visible.
An even better solution would be to make the color of
typed characters white or the inverse of your dark
background.

I've been trying various apps to achieve this. But all of
them seem to have the same problem. I am using a
phone with an OLED display, precisely in order to be able
to read with a pure black background in bed. On OLED,
http://officialandroid.blogspot.mx/2015/12/silentnightwithnightlight.html

10/15

2/2/2016

black really gives off no light. But the problem is that

when a program adds a filter on top of the screen, pure
black pixels - those that have r,g,b=0,0,0 get a tint. The
result is that the black background is not black any
more, and now gives off light.
I think this has something to do with how the filter is
implemented in android. I'd expect it to be implemented
as a multiplier for the colors, so r * a1,g * a2,b * a3. But
that is not what is happening. So sadly, I haven't found a
single screen filter that works well with OLED.
And, sadly, kindle also doesn't listen to comments, and
hasn't yet implemented a yellow on black or orange on
black text....
