The upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, called "CES", hasn't even started yet, and the king of weird displays is already LG Display.
The company is back with a bunch of see-through TVs after showing off some wonderfully curvy OLEDs. You can see what's behind the TV when you sit in front of it, because it's partially transparent. I think I have an incentive to decorate the wall behind the TV because of one of the displays.
The best place to put transparent OLEDs is in stores, galleries, and other spaces where they can sit in the middle of the space without being too obtrusive.
The Shopping Managing showcase is a transparent display that can be used as an attention grabber for the products on display inside an offline store.
You can run, but you can't hide. The credit is given to the company:
The Show Window is similar. The window displays come alive with a "more unique and informative shopping experience," according to the company.
The idea is that the Smart Windows could be used in the conference room to add a sense of openness to the workplace.
One idea is the OLED Shelf, which combines two transparent displays, one on top of the other, so you can have one display, say, a movie, while the other displays static art, or any combination of the two.
One transparent OLED isn't enough. The credit is given to the company:
All of the above are concepts, meaning you can't buy them in an offline store, but that doesn't mean you can't help other companies produce end-user products like these. The company says that its transparent displays have already been found in shopping malls, subways, and museums.
The new transparent display concepts will be on display at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, with one of the companies that hasn't pulled out of the show. Microsoft, Amazon, T-Mobile, and several other companies have stopped doing the physical part of the show because of Covid-19 concerns.
