A transparent display is an electronic display that is a variant of an LCD or OLED screen with the added quality of being clear. Samsung is currently developing this technology.[1][2]
Types
OLED
OLEDs are the most commonly produced forms of transparent displays.[citation needed] Their transparency is achieved using clear cathodes and OLED's ability to produce its own light (as opposed to LCDs that require backlights). Transparent OLEDs are currently difficult and expensive to produce.[3][2]
LCD
Transparent LCDs, such as Samsung's Smart Window, lack electrical backlighting in order to be transparent, with light being provided by natural light sources, such as the sun. They are a cheaper alternative to OLEDs; however, their use is limited due to their inability to produce their own light.[2]
Development
Samsung
Samsung's "Smart Window" is a large, transparent touchscreen that utilizes transparent display technology to act as both a window and computer display or television.[1]
