OLED Saver 1.39
When the brightness of the phone using the AMOLED screenlowerthebrightness past a certain point, the screen starts toflickerorpulsate. This is a result of the AMOLED technologySamsung,amongother manufacturers, use in their displays, and theway thatthesetypes of screens operate. With a traditional LCDscreen, alight isprojected through the array of pixels to increaseordecrease theirluminosity, and brightness adjustments are madebysimply dimmingthis light. But with AMOLED displays, eachpixelemits its ownlight—so in order to decrease yourscreen'sbrightness, theelectrical current flowing through thesepixels hasto be reducedin some way. It's this reduced current thatcan makeyour screenseem to pulse or flicker. This applicationsolves theseAMOLEDproblems by replacing the system functions forautomaticbrightnessadjustment, which dims the pixels displayed onthe screenwithouthaving to reduce the current flowing through them.Thismeans itcan keep the physical brightness of the screen at ahighenoughlevel to avoid screen flicker problems,whileautomaticallyreducing the actual display brightness accordingtoambient light,protecting your eyes. It reduces screen brightnessbyturning offsome pixels and adding a transparent black masklayer,and thenprovides you with an easy-to-access control bar tofurtheradjustthe brightness. Another benefit is allowing you todarkenyourscreen further than the minimum stock brightness level.Aftertheandroid o version, this app still effective in thestatusbar,notification drop-down menu or lock screen.
Bluelight blocking - Eye Care 3.82
Why should we care about blue light?Blue light is part of visible light spectrum that we are exposedtoit by the sun every day. However, nighttime exposure to thelightat high levels by smartphones, tablets, laptops, and otherLEDscreens may impair your vision.It also suppresses the production of hormone melatonin,whichhinders your body's natural sleep cues.When your melatonin level and sleep cycle are disrupted, yourriskof a wide range of ailments, from depression to cancer, maygoup.You can get help by using apps that limit the amount of bluelightcoming from our screens.※ When trying to download other apps you need from other thanGooglePlay Store, sometimes they are not installed properly withthebluelight filter is activated. In such case, please turn offthebluelight filter for a moment and install otherapplications.※ Battery consumption is low when the filter is applied, due tolowtotal CPU usage except for low CPU usage.As a general rule, the screens of our smartphones, tablets,desktopcomputers, and other devices with LED screens give off abluelight. The light that they radiate can be damaging toyoureyesight, especially when you are directly exposed to it, asisgenerally the case at night or when there is no other lightaroundyou. Bluelight blocking is an app that you can use to stopthislight by manually adjusting the type of luminescence thatyourscreen emits.The first thing you'll do with the app is adjust the filter tothetransparency level that you want and that you’ll need tochangedepending on the situation. The higher the filter level, themoreopaque and the dimmer the screen will be so that you canread,play, or work without painful or watery eyes. When you wanttochange this value, you simply have to adjust the bar totheposition that you find comfortable.There are enough filter colors to choose from so that you’ll beableto find the best choice for every situation; red, yellow,brown, andblack are the four options. As soon as you activate one,you’llnotice how the blue light stops radiating and your screengives offa more comfortable color tone. Since the app uses verylittleresources, your device will hardly use any extra batterypower whileBluelight blocking is active.To access the application faster, it includes an easyactivationfeature that you can adjust in the setup menu. This way,if youwant to have a shortcut in the notification panel, you canactivateit when the filter is active, when it’s turned off, oralways haveit there.

Twilight 12.3
Are you having trouble falling asleep? Areyourkids hyperactive when playing with the tablet before bedtime?Are you using your smart phone or tablet in the lateevening?Twilight may be a solution for you!Recent research suggests that exposure to blue light beforesleepmay distort your natural (circadian) rhythm and causeinability tofall asleep.The cause is the photoreceptor in your eyes, called Melanopsin.Thisreceptor is sensitive to a narrow band of blue light inthe460-480nm range which may suppress Melatonin production - ahormoneresponsible for your healthy sleep-wake cycles.In experimental scientific studies it has been shown anaverageperson reading on a tablet or smart phone for a couple ofhoursbefore bed time may find their sleep delayed by aboutanhour.The Twilight app makes your device screen adapt to the time oftheday. It filters the flux of blue light emitted by your phoneortablet after sunset and protects your eyes with a soft andpleasantred filter. The filter intensity is smoothly adjusted tothe suncycle based on your local sunset and sunrise times.Get more from Twilight1) Bed reading: Twilight is more pleasant on the eyes fornightreading. Especially as it is able to lower the screenbacklight farbelow the ability of the backligt controls on yourscreen2) AMOLED screens: We have tested Twilight on an AMOLED screenfor2.5 years without any sign of depletion or over-burning.Ifproperly configured Twilight causes less light emission(byenabling dimming) with more equal light distribution (dark areasofthe screen such as the status bar get tinted).
