JAKARTA – Almost all applications and software now have features dark mode. The application is not considered current if this feature is not embedded.
It is said that one of the advantages is that it makes the eyes more relaxed when looking at the cellphone screen. But is that really true?
Many factors affect the brightness of the cellphone screen. Starting from changes in the light of the morning afternoon to evening, and the content that is being accessed.
For example, in the early morning, when the sun has not yet risen, maybe at that time people often read the news. This means that the environment is in a dark situation and the screen is bright white. Then during the day one might dwell on applications Spreadsheets or Word in bright light.
And at night, for example, while watching a movie on Netflix, people look at the screen with the background dark mode in the middle of a dark environment.
These various situations contribute to eye strain. Maybe for ordinary people with bright screens, when changing the background to dark (dark mode) will make the eyes more relaxed, especially when reading. Though not really.
According to Hall and Hanna’s research entitled Web Text-Background Color published by the University of Missouri, in the daytime, people who read in light screen mode with dark writing will find it easier to read and absorb more information.
“Contrast makes details easy to see, and most readers are used to reading dark text in bright light.”
Another reason why a white background makes reading easier is the biological reason for the human eye. In the human visual system, the eye will overreact to bright objects against a dark background.
So in a text context, white text on a black background will make it appear shaded, and that makes it harder to read.
However, what is in science is also limited and what the general public seems to experience today is something different from the results of the study.
Before dark mode As loved as they are now, they often use special glasses to mask blue light and place lights around the back of their monitors to create a white background on the screen. Thus reducing the irritating effect on the eyes.
And now, where monitor screens, especially cellphones, are increasingly being used everywhere, not a few people are demanding screens with features dark mode.
It makes multiple sites website presenting options dark mode when visiting it. On Twitter, for example, they provide dark mode with a dark blue background.
Meanwhile, Netflix, has already designed its pages, with white text on a black and gray background. But at least when in a brightly lit room or room, the best setting for the eyes is to stick with the light mode.
All these things of course return to the convenience of each user. In essence, when your eyes feel tense and tired, immediately change the background color mode on the application or page you are visiting.
