The science fiction or reality? • The idea of the transparent display for the computer is not new. We can see it in the different science fiction films, for example, in the famous James Cameron “AVATAR”
Samsung transparent LCD panel introduced Now Samsung corporationcreated a transparent LCD panel that can be used to decorate kiosks, store windows and billboards with text and images that do fancy tricks, like rotate and fade in and out, rather than just sit there. We can imagine think bus shelters with see-through walls displaying scrolling schedules, and clothing shop windows that feature models.
The first experience • Recently in San Francisco, the company showed CNET a 22-inch transparent LCD panel built into a display case housing a Samsung Galaxy Tab. That 22-inch panel has already gone into production, with a 46-inch unit on the way
New panel features • The panels come in black-and-white and colour versions, and have a contrast ratio of 500:1 with 1680x1050 resolution. They are HDMI- and USB-enabled, and utilise ambient light, such as sunlight, thus reducing their dependence on electricity.
Second device • This is not Samsung's first stab at transparency, as its IceTouch YP-H1 MP3 player (not available in Australia) sports a transparent touchscreen. Other companies, including LG, Sony Ericsson and Korean materials maker NeoView Kolon, have ventured into transparent-technology territory, as well.
Another way • Beyond those applications, Beaton showed a cool image of an office building made multicoloured by smart windows using the transparent panels, but that's just a concept at this point. Still, we're suddenly imagining "mood houses" that sport yellow windows when inhabitants feel happy, and blue windows when they're bummed.
Communication or advertisement? • Samsung mostly views its transparent panels as a tool to make advertising more dynamic, and says that it's already working with unnamed retail partners interested in using them that way. But it also imagines them as potential interactive communication devices for corporations and schools.
Another solutions • There were other solutions, but not with LCD screens. Early created Transparent EL Displays do the same task, but use another film technology. • Also, we can make just an illusion of the transparency on our desktops. We just have to install the same with our environment wallpaper on our computer desktop.
