Description
The next time you reach for a piece of paper and a pen – Don’t! Grab a Boogie Board
instead, the tree-friendly alternative to memo pads, sketchbooks, sticky notes, dry erase boards
and more! |
| |
|
The Boogie Board is perfect for scribbling notes, writing memos,
creating your to-do or even playing a few games of hangman - think of it as a
21st Century Etch-a-Sketch on steroids!?! The pad features a pressure-sensitive LCD display
which you can doodle on using the included telescoping stylus, your finger, or
anything else that can apply pressure. |

The device is so responsive it can even display lines of
different thickness according to the pressure applied – just like paper and pen. When you need to erase your handywork, simply press the button at the top. The Boogie Board is approximately the same size as half a
sheet of letter-size paper, only 3mm thick and has a built-in lifetime
battery (good for up to 50,000 erases) so requires no external power or charging
cables. |

So How Exactly Does It Work?
When not in use, modules suspended in the surface of the display technology are arranged to allow the dark plastic background to show through. When pressure is applied, it alters the state of the modules and causes them to reflect light - appearing as white lines on the reflective, pressure-sensitive, plastic LCD surface.
Line width is proportional to the amount of pressure applied and users can draw with a variety of objects to achieve different line shapes, including a finger, stiff paint brush or the included stainless steel telescopic stylus. To erase a note, memo, message, list or doodle, a user simply presses the erase button. This sends a small electric charge through the modules and effectively resets the display.
The device works on a sealed 3V watch battery but the company is looking at ways to make the product battery free, such as including photovoltaic cells. A special polymer hardcoat has been applied to the writing surface to prevent scratches, making the device robust enough for daily use as a multi-purpose paper replacement.
