1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,160
there isn't a whole lot in the tech world that screams cool quite like a

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:10,519
transparent display whether we're talking Robert Downey Jr's warnings

3
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:15,839
about his imminent destruction in his Iron Man suit Mask The Rebel Bas on hath

4
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:21,240
or Tom Cruz whipping through evidence in Minority Report there's been no shortage

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:26,840
of sci-fi writers and dreamers who love the idea of working on a clear screen so

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:31,920
like anything in Star Trek they're a reality now but how do they wake well

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:37,360
the underlying technology that makes clear screens possible has actually been

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:40,559
around for quite some time any flat

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:43,480
panel LCD display features a layer of

10
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:47,680
pixels the supporting color filters and the electronics required to power them

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:53,000
and it's all see through or you'd never see the backlight through it in fact

12
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:57,680
transparent LCDs were notably shown off by Samsung in its smart window which

13
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:00,440
works like a regular window in your home but can display the weather email travel

14
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:07,880
information and other useful stuff and can even act as a digital venetian blind when you

15
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,640
want to darken the room but this concept

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:15,479
only works because the sun provides backlighting during the day at night it

17
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:21,320
needs to be lit from an artificial Source powered by a solar battery or

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:26,000
something that is why transparent screens made from oleds are where a lot

19
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:30,520
of the current excitement is because the diodes themselves generate their own

20
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:35,240
light from an electric current due to their chemistry so they don't need to be

21
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:39,079
attached to a bulky backlight which not only means you can use them in dark

22
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:44,479
environments but they can also be made super thin and flexible perfect for a

23
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:49,360
transparent display oleds can even be screen printed onto a plastic base or

24
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:55,079
laid as a thin fil making it a super versatile technology well lius you say

25
00:01:52,240 --> 00:02:00,320
it's super versatile so but what can we actually use this stuff for well how

26
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:06,039
about heads up displays or Huds in both aircraft and cars the current Solutions

27
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:11,200
use projectors with poor viewing angles a transparent display HUD could not only

28
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:16,040
provide much better image quality but make important information like speed

29
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:21,440
and remaining fuel viewable no matter where the pilot or driver is looking and

30
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,800
even use augmented reality to Overlay the names of streets or landmarks onto a

31
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:30,760
windshield or even help with safety information like overlaying the view

32
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:35,200
from a blind spot camera or what about this imagine if you had a transparent

33
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:40,040
smartphone display that could work on both sides fujitsu's been working on

34
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:44,280
just that thing allowing users to grip an onscreen object from both sides of

35
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:48,840
the phone and speaking of smartphones researchers at Corning have developed a

36
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,120
way to embed tiny sensors right in the surface of a glass display that can keep

37
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,400
tabs on things like health information or the ambient temperature without the

38
00:02:55,239 --> 00:03:00,760
need for additional hardware and there are plenty of ways for transparent

39
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,640
screens to enhance your shopping experience this is one of the big ones

40
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:09,599
that the manufacturers are pushing for so one example here is for an iPad a

41
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:14,840
pair of Nikes or whatever else is on sale to be kept inside a glass display

42
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,280
that doubles as a clear screen displaying pricing information product

43
00:03:16,799 --> 00:03:22,560
features and other interactive elements a shopper can use while still being able

44
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,400
to look at the product itself and as a security device and if you're not in the

45
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,959
market for expensive sneakers we should be seeing this technology find its way

46
00:03:27,959 --> 00:03:33,920
into much more affordable options like V machines to tell you how many calories

47
00:03:31,799 --> 00:03:38,640
are in that bag of chips that you're eyeing over there there are a few Kinks

48
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:45,120
to be worked out like increasing the lifespan of oleds and improving on the

49
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,200
current 70% or so transparency of the

50
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,599
Showcase technology that exist today so it doesn't look like you're looking at

51
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:55,239
whatever it is through a dirty window but when that happens I mean man the sky

52
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:00,720
the limit I'm I'm not much of a fashionista but there's going to be some

53
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:05,000
fantastic wearable tech technology when this stuff hits the mainstream and what

54
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:11,000
would make you look great with your wearable technology a clean shave Dollar
