A note about some text in the third paragraph... "Pure black and pure white background are known to cause eye strain for normal users."

The National Center on Disability and Journalism recommends against using the word normal to describe those without disabilities:

The words "abnormal" or "abnormality" might be acceptable when describing scientific phenomena, such as abnormalities in brain function. However, avoid using such words to describe a person. Referring to someone who does not have a disability as a "normal person" implies that people with disabilities are deviant or strange. "Typical" can be a better choice.[1]
