Samsung LCD transparent: the technology is already here

Transparent LCD screens are not just fiction, if you remember a few days ago we had seen in a vending machine applies a futuristic, real and working. Samsung is one of the producers of these boards and believes it is very important to do research and development in this direction. The result is the LTI460AP01, ie a monitor to 1366 × 768 pixels, which will be presented at CES 2012 in a few weeks to show the world the possibilities of this technology.

But first, because a transparent LCD? Samsung claims that the backlight is guilty of the greater energy expenditure in the current LCD and that in a normal environment is entirely futile, the company says it is enough ambient light to filter from behind the panel to allow a good degree of visibility . All to the benefit of energy savings with this technology is only one-tenth that of an LCD backlight similar to classical.

For now, the first applications imagined by Samsung are industrial or commercial, for example, situations in which the panel shows information about certain products through the glass, but it is said that one day we will display this in our homes .
