Sci-Fi Tech: Samsung Begins Mass Producing Transparent LCD Panels

In what was previously reserved to science fiction flicks, Samsung Electronics has announced that it has began mass producing 22-inch transparent LCD panels in March.
The screens are reported to be transparent enough to see through and the South Korean consumer electronics giant boasts that they are 90% more energy efficient than conventional LCD screens.
In a press release made public by Samsung at the end of March, Younghwan Park, a senior vice president of Samsung Electronics LCD Business said “Transparent displays will have a wide range of use in all industry areas as an efficient tool for delivering information and communication.”
According to the tech powerhouse, the transparent panels will come in two types: black-and-white and color. They are reported to have a contrast ratio of 500:1 with WSXGA+ (1680×1050) resolution.
“With the world’s first mass production of the transparent LCD panel, Samsung Electronics plans to lead the global transparent LCD market by developing various applications,” Park said.
