LG Display's 4.3-inch bistable display concept eyes-on (video)

With all the giant screens throwing around flashy 3D graphics at SID, the smaller offerings like this LG 4.3-inch transparent bistable LCD display can be easy to overlook. Lucky for you, our hawk-eyes combined with a love for tiny gadgets landed us -- and our video camera -- right in front of this bantam wonder. Sure, bistable displays (which can retain an image when powered down) are nothing new, but this 4.3-incher was just too eye-catching to pass up -- even if it was just running a simple stick-man animation. We're not sure where LG's going with this little screen -- it is just a concept, after all -- but we can already hear advertisers and automotive designers licking their lips in anticipation. For more transparent display goodness, check out the video after the break.

Samsung's 22-inch Transparent BLU LCD TV shipping next week, eyes-on at SID 2011 (video)

We weren't actually allowed to get our hands on Samsung's 22-inch Transparent BLU LCD TV -- the showcase was accompanied by a "Do not touch" label -- but we were able to get our first in-the-flesh look at the see-through display at SID this week. According to Sammy's rep, the monitors, which can operate with or without a backlight, will start shipping to manufacturers as soon as this week, but consumers will have to wait until Q3 to get their hands on one. While our hands remained mostly at our sides during our little meeting, we did sneak them behind the display to see just how transparent these things are. Sure enough, we could see our phalanges wiggling quite clearly through the ghostly panel. When the backlight was flipped on, the screen became a touch more opaque, but didn't fully obstruct the view of the potted plants lurking in the background. For now, the screens are focused on the commercial market -- specifically advertising -- but we wouldn't mind adding one of these things to our living room. Hop on past the break for a little video love.

Samsung Producing Mass Transparent LCDs

Samsung has recently done mass production of LCD with transparent panels which is quite unique. The reason for this is because it consumes less electricity as compared to other electronic gadgets. This basically depends on the fact that it consumes solar energy to make it run.

 

These panels are diagonally shaped and are 22 inches long. It also has a powerful resolution which ranges from 1680 into 1050 pixels which makes the images appear clear and sharp. These panels are available into amazing colors which includes black and whiteouts previous built in transparency which was5% previously has increased to 15 % when it comes to different colors and 20 % for black and white.Samsung is very confident about their new LCD and its senior  vice president  also shares the same belief as he thinks that this new and improved version of Samsung LCD will find its use in various areas and will become widely popular for its amazing quality and performance.
