Founded in the United States in 1993, Kent, the parent company of Boogie Board, is a global leader in the R&D and manufacturing of cholesterol liquid crystal panels, with 152 technology patents according to the U.S. Patent Office. In 2008, Kent launched its only LCD tablet brand, Boogie Board, which has sold more than 30 million units worldwide in the past 10 years, firmly occupying the first place in the market share in Europe and the United States, and is a well-deserved benchmark in the industry.
Popular Science magazine called the Boogie Board "as convenient as pen and paper." Behind the simple evaluation is a decade of technology accumulation. In order to improve the display effect, Boogie Board reformulated the LCD formula and improved the PET diaphragm, which increased the reflectivity of the LCD panel to 25% for the first time in the industry, and was the first to be applied to the JOT series. With the further improvement of technology, the reflectivity of follow-up series products such as Blackboard can reach 30%, its handwriting is clear and natural, the reflection brightness is uniform, and the viewing angle reaches 178° full view level, which belongs to the top level of cholesterol LCD panels.
In addition to JOT, which is positioned as an entry-level player, and Blackboard, Boogie Board also has digital expansion Sync, as well as three series of children's graffiti, Magic, Scribble and Play&Trace, to meet the diverse needs of the market.
As the star product of the Boogie Board, the writing experience of the Blackboard is also excellent. In order to find a balance between writing and technology, Blackboard has coated the screen with four coatings: anti-glare, anti-smudge, durable hard coat and matte surface, and the nib is slightly matte like a pencil. Every time the pen is dropped, the lines are smooth and natural, the thickness is precise and controllable, and the subtle "rustling" friction sound between the strokes brings a familiar and incomparably novel writing experience.
Blackboard also has the nickname of "bucket machine", it has a gray and black tone, a simple appearance, and a complete range of functions. The biggest highlight is, of course, the industry's first introduction of Exact-Erase eraser technology, once the wrong painting can be partially modified, no need to clear the screen and start again, although there will be visible scratches, but under the current technical conditions is the best erase level. The Blackboard 14-inch weighs 400g, and the 9-inch weighs only 145g, with a thickness of less than 6mm.
Compared to Blackboard, which focuses on pure writing, Sync focuses more on the expansion of digital capabilities. Different from the traditional APP scanning content saving method, Sync supports one-click saving of content in PDF format, which can be transmitted in real time through Bluetooth and data cable, saving handwriting and cloud backup, but unfortunately, the cloud backup function cannot be used in China due to the blocking of firewalls. Sync also uses four major coating processes for a great writing experience, and also adds a 1024-level pressure sensitivity function, which allows users to create in the full Adobe design software.
It should be pointed out that due to the high power consumption of digital components, Sync battery life is only about 10 days, while the traditional LCD panel only consumes power when the screen is refreshed, and a coin cell battery can be used for at least half a year. Coupled with the fact that Sync is priced at up to 700 yuan, it overlaps with the tablet in terms of function, and the body becomes thicker to 10mm, which is a tangle for many users.
From the three series launched by Boogie Board for children, it can be seen that it attaches great importance to the children's graffiti market. Magic, Scribble and Play&Trace have put a lot of effort into color and exterior design, and have correspondingly canceled writing assistance functions such as screen lock and eraser, and the price is around 300 yuan. Magic is based on JOT 8.5 inches to replace the color screen that can be copied, which is undoubtedly more attractive to children, and randomly comes with 18 tracing cards with different patterns, full of playability.
If the child is younger, Scribble is more suitable. Although Scribble cannot be copied, it retains the color screen and designs 4 different nibs with wide stylus, which is very suitable for children to handle, and the combination of 4 nibs can depict a rainbow of complex patterns. The Spruce praised Scribble as a "craft toy for children's creative expression", allowing children to enjoy the simple fun of doodling in the era of tablets.
Play&Trace has a very peculiar shape, equipped with an oval translucent tracing screen of 33cm × 22cm. The large tracing space allows Play&Trace to have unlimited creative possibilities, and children can use it to copy everything they are interested in. Learning Express Toys, an American educational toy company, listed it as the "2016 Educational Toy of the Year", but the lack of a color screen is a big regret for this product.
The official flagship store of Boogie Board has been stationed on the domestic e-commerce platform, which is convenient for users to buy, although the price is relatively high, but as the most representative brand in the LCD tablet industry, Boogie Board's products are very worth experiencing.
