The Compal 'StudyBook' concept is a laptop designed by the Taiwan-based brand for children that focuses on education and play in a number of distinct ways. The laptop features the usual display and QWERTY keyboard found on mobile computers, but will reveal a cholesteric liquid crystal display (CLCD) underneath of the keyboard. This will enable young users to draw on the surface using a battery-free stylus to practice their writing or simply sketch out some artwork, which will be relayed to the display thanks to a flip-up mirror over the camera.
The Compal 'StudyBook' concept features a range of ports including HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, 3.5 audio and even a microSD card reader to maximize compatibility with peripherals.
