Transparent 15-inch OLED display by LG

Posted on October 28, 2009 10:32 AM

LG has demonstrated a 15" transparent OLED display prototype. While using these displays on personal computers doesn't seem so great, imagine what transparent displays can let one build, especially in retail spaces, architecture or even heads-up displays in vehicles, helmets and so on. With a light transmittance of "only" 30%, I'm tempted to call this "translucent" rather than "transparent", but you get the idea. Samsung has a similar technology, although they were reportedly demoing a much smaller display: 4.3". [via techon]

Apart from the drool-worthy TV, LG also showcased a variety of AMOLED concepts and a 13.3” In-Cell Projected Cap. Gotta love how they merged retro and modern ideas in the home phone display you see above.

Posted on September 28, 2009 11:56 PM

LG's latest projector cellphone has been dubbed the Burst, where it does bear a striking similarity to the Apple iPhone with one button used to power it up (and down).
