Boogie Board eWriters Draw Large Crowds at International CES

 

January 31, 2012 --

Kent, Ohio (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

Improv Electronics announced today that its first ever appearance at the renowned International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada earlier this month was a great success. The Boogie Board booth on the show floor attracted large crowds throughout the four day event. The booth featured the companys growing line of Boogie Board eWriters, tree-friendly, electronic alternatives to paper and pens that utilize revolutionary Reflex® No Power LCDs as their writing surface. Reflex LCDs are manufactured by Kent Displays.

Exhibiting at such a well-known and highly attended show like CES is an enormous investment, and we are absolutely thrilled to see that investment pay off, said Kent Displays/Improv Electronics CEO Dr. Albert Green. Our Boogie Board eWriters have created an entirely new product segment, and the large crowds at our CES booth are a strong indicator the world is taking notice. Boogie Board eWriters are not only environmentally-friendly and fun, they will be a major catalyst for changing to a truly paperless society.

Improv Electronics' presence at CES did not go unnoticed by the media. The companys booth at the Showstoppers media event also drew large crowds, and over 10,000 media members around the world requested or reviewed the Boogie Board eWriter online press kit distributed through the event.
