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 (non-reflecting) in the other state. The dark state occurs when no voltage is applied (voltage is needed to keep the light areas of the image reflecting).
Boogie Board Sync.
The Boogie Board Sync added a digitisation panel, capturing the user's input as vector graphics in PDF form for later review on a computer, phone or tablet. The board itself does not allow direct review of stored pages.
