Lenovo is poised to unveil a transparent screen laptop at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 exhibition, scheduled from 26 to 29 of this month. This device is expected to feature a completely transparent OLED display, marking a unique offering in the product category.

Samsung showcased a similar prototype in CES 2010, although, it never came out

Transparent screen technology, once merely a concept, is rapidly advancing towards commercial viability. Samsung showcased a prototype at CES 2010, but high production costs hindered its availability. However, recent developments indicate a shift, with LG introducing a transparent OLED screen at CES 2024, paving the way for easier mass production.

Lenovo’s transparent laptop is set to showcase a bezel-less design, boasting a fully transparent display and chassis. The main components are strategically housed in the “chin” area, with a thin, non-transparent frame surrounding the entire device. This innovative design not only enhances aesthetics but also reflects Lenovo’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of laptop design.

While specific specifications remain undisclosed, the laptop is confirmed to run on Windows 11, aligning with Lenovo’s signature design language. Its appearance resembles that of a dual-screen laptop, a trend gaining traction in the industry. As anticipation builds for the MWC exhibition, tech enthusiasts eagerly await further details and specifications regarding this groundbreaking device.

The introduction of this innovative device underscores Lenovo’s commitment to innovation and highlights the ongoing evolution of display technology. Stay tuned for more updates as we keep an eye on the developments at the MWC exhibition.

Earlier this week, LG Electronics announced that it will collaborate with Assa Abloy to launch new variant of automatic doors that will use transparent OLED display panels. These would likely be used in the commercial sectors.

For those unaware, Ass Abloy is a Sweden based company that makes doors, mechanical door locks, digital door locks and automatic doors as well. The company has supplied its automatic doors across the globe, including airports in London, Spain, and South Korea. So, the partnership with the South Korean tech giant would have it expand on its existing lineup, as per TheElec report.

The 55 inch LG OLED display panels will be used on these automatic doors. This will allow the doors to display various different messages, building information and even advertisements as well. In other words, this could open a whole new stream of revenue for airports and open another area for companies to advertise their products on.

Since the transparent OLED panels do not require a backlight like an LCD (liquid crystal display) display does, it offers higher transmittance or transparency. Thus, keep on the look out as we may soon see such automated doors with transparent OLED displays around us soon. Currently, no finer details regarding its development is known, neither has the company offered any specifics or roadmaps.

Xiaomi has recently been launching its own iteration of monitors across different segments and is showing an increasing interest in the display market as well. Now, a new report suggests that the company is working on a new transparent TV, which features a 27 inch Samsung OLED panel.

According to a MyDrivers report, the Chinese tech giant is planning on launching this transparent TV by 2021. This new monitor will be positioned as the company’s ultra high end flagship TV. For those unaware, transparent TVs forego traditional backplane, and bring circuits and micro devices into a subversive transparent form through precise layout design. Furthermore, the panel used will be a 27 inch OLED display from Samsung.

The report has also stated that Xiaomi has already started setting up the supply chain for the product with negotiations regarding operations and shipping commitments being made as well. Although considering the high cost of Samsung OLED panels and the inherited cost of transparent displays, we can expect the upcoming TV to be priced quite high. Unfortunately, finer details regarding this TV are currently unknown, so stay tuned for more updates which should arrive in the near future.

Unfortunately, it is unknown just how many of such displays the South Korean tech giant has equipped on the subway trains. Furthermore, the company has also announced that it would be doubling the output of transparent OLED panels since it believes that the new generation of displays can be used in various commercial sectors like large shop windows, on the exteriors of buildings, and other exhibition spaces as well.

LG Electronics has just showcased certain new display technologies at the InfoComm 2020 event. The conference that took place from 16th to 18t June had the South Korean tech giant reveal new LG LED Cinema Display and a transparent OLED touch display.

The LG LED Cinema Display utilizes high brightness LED modules for movie screens at theaters. This technology is said to offer a more uniform movie screen that is less susceptible to distortions when compared to their digital projector counterparts. The company has already supplied this type of large display to a Taiwanese cinema chain called Showtime Cinema.

Furthermore, LG also unveiled its new transparent OLED touch screen, which has a transmittance of 38 percent and its possible applications have been aimed at commercial spheres like airports, museums, and even stores. Notably, multiple such transparent displays can be attached side by side, with the technology already being utilized by a store run by Top Golf.

The horizon of applications for both these new display technologies is extremely wide. We may even see such smartphones with transparent displays in the future, have stores built with interactive windows, and more. The fact that these displays are already being introduced in certain areas is indicative of it being ready to branch out to other fields as well.

When established smartphone makers are obsessed about reducing the bezels on its flagships to a bare minimum, ZUK is apparently taking things to a whole new level. Just towards the end of the conference on Aug 11, where ZUK announced its first smartphone, the ZUK Z1, the company reportedly showcased an interesting prototype.

A transparent screen smartphone was showcased at the experience section. As you can see in the picture above, the transparent screen phone is no gimmick. The phone does exist and it looks like ZUK has the tech to make such an advanced device.

The phone was displayed on the stand and it is said the device can perform all the functions as a traditional smartphone. For example, it can display images, make phone calls, play music etc. In fact, as you can see in one of the image, the photo displayed was quite clear despite the transparent screen.

Of course, let me remind you that this is just a prototype device and don’t expect a retail launch at least in the next one year. Its not going to be easy to manufacture transparent phones on a mass scale, at least right now. So, it may take a while until the market starts seeing transparent screen smartphones.

Still, it good to see there is a working prototype. And from what we can see in the images, the phone definitely looks advanced.

So, what do you think? Are transparent screen phones the future?
