![]() There are standard brushes that mimic regular brush strokes, and lots of unique ones like Thorn which creates a trail of 3D thorns, or Leaf which leaves behind a trail of leaves. There are lots of different brushes to choose from, and FireAlpaca adds new ones each week. Clicking on the brush tool for example lets you change the color, size, and type of brush. On the right-hand side you have access to the main illustration tools like the brush, eraser, dot tool, move, fill, bucket, select, lasso, magic wand, select pen/eraser, text, operation, divide, eyedropper, and hand tool.Ĭlicking on a tool opens a secondary set of options where you can explore various aspects of the tool. ![]() At the very top of the screen are the program’s broader functions like file settings, and layers. While it has some similarities to LCD writing tablets, there are some significant differences.FireAlpaca has a simple interface with easy-to-use controls and lots of space between elements so it doesn’t feel cramped. The XPPen Smart Notepad is a digital notepad that uses electromagnetic resonance (EMR) technology to track your handwriting and sketches. Better choices for students and adultsįor students and adults who need to do more in-depth work, I’ll recommend XPPen Smart Notepad or drawing displays/tablets like XPPen Artist 12 Pro and XPPen Deco Pro 01 V2. They're best for quick notes or simple sketches, and you'll need more advanced equipment such as XPPen Smart Notepad and XPPen drawing tablet, or a computer for more in-depth work. However, keep in mind that LCD writing tablets are not designed for complex drawings or detailed note-taking. LCD Tablets are lightweight, so they are easy to carry around for sure, and they are also environmentally friendly because of the replacement of paper. If you are a student or an adult who needs to take notes, loves to track inspirations on the go, or are a parent who wants to help children explore their creativity with this tool, an LCD writing tablet may be just what you need. In this case, the LCD panel reflects very little light, which makes the screen appear dark. When you are not using it, the display detects no pressure, and no electric field is applied so the molecules remain in a stable state. For example, when you draw a line, the molecules in the pressure-applied area will move in a way to become reflective of lights and make the line visible. When you are writing on an LCD writing tablet, you’re applying pressure on the pressure-resistive screen and generating electrical current with a stylus or other writing tool, so the order of molecules of the Liquid Crystal materials will change correspondingly to make the area light-reflective. What’s inside an LCD writing tablet?Īn LCD writing tablet is usually made up of a transparent or semi-transparent plastic display screen, a liquid crystal layer, a black background placed behind the LCD layer to prevent lights from reflecting, a circuit board, and a back and front housing. How do LCD writing tablets work?īefore we delve into how LCD writing tablets work, let's first know what is inside and its components. Moreover, these digital surfaces can be reused multiple times because of the integrated erase function. This marks the first commercial success of LCD technology, according to The history of liquid-crystal display and its industry.Į-writers like LCD writing tablets use liquid crystal display technology to create a digital writing surface that can be easily used with a stylus or other writing tool. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) dates back as early as the late 19th century when the first liquid-crystal display had been invented at the RCA David Research Center.
