One drawback of this is that people could stand behind the TV and distract you.

Saying that, it's still pretty cool tech. I like it.

At least it's not clickbait, unlike "THIS GUY SHOULD BE FIRED!"

ah nice, 1440p looking like 144p...

So in this case the pixel being off, which is usually black, is simply transparent.

I think it would be cool if they had something like an LCD panel on the back as well so that the pixels could be switched to black in order to block light from coming in from behind (and making it black like a regular tv)

 

I would totally buy a transparent tv if it had the option of turning pixels black for use in bright spaces.

Currently my TV is in front of a window and it would be great to have the screen be transparent so I can see out the window, but then still be able to get dark blacks if I need to watch some videos or do some work.

With the light coming in from the window, the white objects on the screen would not have a lot of contrast with the background, but if the pixels could block light then it would be possible to have black text be very visible on a light background, or simply turn the entire screen into a regular black display that doesn't let light through.

 

 

 

 

Going even further, imagine a DMD (digital micromirror device) layer also in the screen.

Now you have the option of turning pixels transparent, black, OR reflective!

Just like those mirror displays people build with one way mirrors, but with the option to switch back to black or transparent instead of reflective.

 

Three layers: LED panel (for white/colour), LCD panel (for black), and DMD panel (for reflective).

Obviously the technology needs to be improved to the point where each layer doesn't absorb too much light so that you can actually get good transparency, but this would be the ultimate display IMO.

 

Instead of RGB a special RGBA+reflective signal would need to be sent to the display too.

Yeah...but why

I'd install one as a window, that way I can play games and creep out every passerby

No, that would get me arrest for public exposure This way cops walk in see what I'm doing and leave scratching their heads.

Was it broken at the end of the video?

[Thanaislife]

imagine putting like 1 behind it, or like 3 behind each other, and playing a movie or game, when the objects on screen change depending on how far they are in game, like object 1 is on screen 1 because its 10m away, then it moves to screen 2 because its 20m away.

Where do I want to see this tech used? With the inclusion of a polarizing on the back I see this making a killer VR/AR headset sometime in the future.

If it's an OLED display which is transparent then how are they producing black colours since the pixels in regular oleds turn off to produce black. If they are creating black like regular displays then what makes them different from regular transparent LCDs ???

A one way sheet of plastic, maybe

So when you watch the video it’s not actually transparent, but an illusion, they create small holes around the pixels, just not large enough for the eye to see. 

[Pixelate]

Virtual environments are the best application I can think of, like in Treasure Planet (1:46). It's a dreary rainy day outside but she just switches the window to display a sunny beach scene and then a field of flowers instead - with transparent OLED you could conceivably do something like this.

Linus accidentally gave away the LG secrets, LG cut it out last second. XD

[Streetguru]

They could use multiple layers, possibly after making it more transparent, to do depth effects for whatever, possibly in a VR headset.

Also pretty sure you could do the double game idea with just 2 of them back to back?

Any like "TV" version of it probably needs a drop down sheet of black so that it blocks any light behind the thing for daylight use.

[Graphitearq]

A future transparent phone...hell yeah 

[LeapFrogMasterRace]

Great product for rich people who don't watch tv

Make it have depth - Add another layer to this screen and have the new layer about 1in+ back from it using the empty pixel space and you could have awesome almost 3D picture

i can not see a single use i had for it in my house.
