Xiaomi has just announced the Mijia LCD Blackboard
as the latest product to join their crowdfunding platform. It’s essentially
just a digital blackboard that’s meant be used as a learning tool or a drawing
tool. Unlike your typical industry standard digital blackboard however, the
Mijia LCD Blackboard is much smaller, and more of a digital writing pad to help
people reduce their use of paper.
For all intents and purposes, the Mijia LCD
Blackboard is fully usable as a writing pad replacement. It allows the user to
write and erase content as they please, don’t there don’t seem to be any other
features outside of that. Xiaomi’s especially proud that the device’s display
doesn’t emit an blue light, reducing eye strain on prolonged use.
Although we don’t typically write about them, China
has been heavily marketing these smaller digital blackboards recently. A quick
search on Aliexpress reveals a lot of similar products at similar price ranges.
According to Xiaomi however, what sets the Xiaomi’s effort apart from
competitors are its high contrast text, the lack of blue light and the higher
resolution.
The Mijia LDC Blackboard comes in two sizes, those
being 10 inches and 13.5 inches two. The 10-inch model comes in at 49 yuan (US$ 7)
and 79 yuan (US$ 12). The Mijia LCD small blackboard body is 7mm thick and has 10
inches and 13.5 inches. The 10-inch version weighs 195g and the 13.5-inch
version weighs 345g.
