Boogie board (product)


Boogie Board is a paperless LCD, which uses a stainless steel telescoping stylus, or also can be drawn on with other implements, like fingers, brushes, cookie cutters, etc., as it is pressure-sensitive.
Most of the boards contain no active electronics; they are therefore as responsive as real paper.
Lifespan is estimated at 50,000 erasures.

Principle of operation

Boogie board is based on reflex display technology, i.e. LCDs that use cholesteric liquid crystal technology to reflect light in one state, and to be dark in the other state. The dark state occurs when no voltage is applied.

Boogie Board Sync
