00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.160
there isn't a whole lot in the tech world that screams cool quite like a

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:10.519
transparent display whether we're talking Robert Downey Jr's warnings

00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:15.839
about his imminent destruction in his Iron Man suit Mask The Rebel Bas on hath

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:21.240
or Tom Cruz whipping through evidence in Minority Report there's been no shortage

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

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:31.920
like anything in Star Trek they're a reality now but how do they wake well

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:37.360
the underlying technology that makes clear screens possible has actually been

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:40.559
around for quite some time any flat

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:43.480
panel LCD display features a layer of

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:47.680
pixels the supporting color filters and the electronics required to power them

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

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:57.680
transparent LCDs were notably shown off by Samsung in its smart window which

00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:00.440
works like a regular window in your home but can display the weather email travel

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:07.880
information and other useful stuff and can even act as a digital venetian blind when you

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:10.640
want to darken the room but this concept

00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:15.479
only works because the sun provides backlighting during the day at night it

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:21.320
needs to be lit from an artificial Source powered by a solar battery or

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:26.000
something that is why transparent screens made from oleds are where a lot

00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:30.520
of the current excitement is because the diodes themselves generate their own

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:35.240
light from an electric current due to their chemistry so they don't need to be

00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:39.079
attached to a bulky backlight which not only means you can use them in dark

00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:44.479
environments but they can also be made super thin and flexible perfect for a

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:49.360
transparent display oleds can even be screen printed onto a plastic base or

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:55.079
laid as a thin fil making it a super versatile technology well lius you say

00:01:52.240 --> 00:02:00.320
it's super versatile so but what can we actually use this stuff for well how

00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:06.039
about heads up displays or Huds in both aircraft and cars the current Solutions

00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:11.200
use projectors with poor viewing angles a transparent display HUD could not only

00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:16.040
provide much better image quality but make important information like speed

00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:21.440
and remaining fuel viewable no matter where the pilot or driver is looking and

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:25.800
even use augmented reality to Overlay the names of streets or landmarks onto a

00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:30.760
windshield or even help with safety information like overlaying the view

00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:35.200
from a blind spot camera or what about this imagine if you had a transparent

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:40.040
smartphone display that could work on both sides fujitsu's been working on

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:44.280
just that thing allowing users to grip an onscreen object from both sides of

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:48.840
the phone and speaking of smartphones researchers at Corning have developed a

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:53.120
way to embed tiny sensors right in the surface of a glass display that can keep

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:57.400
tabs on things like health information or the ambient temperature without the

00:02:55.239 --> 00:03:00.760
need for additional hardware and there are plenty of ways for transparent

00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:04.640
screens to enhance your shopping experience this is one of the big ones

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:09.599
that the manufacturers are pushing for so one example here is for an iPad a

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:14.840
pair of Nikes or whatever else is on sale to be kept inside a glass display

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:18.280
that doubles as a clear screen displaying pricing information product

00:03:16.799 --> 00:03:22.560
features and other interactive elements a shopper can use while still being able

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

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:29.959
market for expensive sneakers we should be seeing this technology find its way

00:03:27.959 --> 00:03:33.920
into much more affordable options like V machines to tell you how many calories

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

00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:45.120
to be worked out like increasing the lifespan of oleds and improving on the

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:47.200
current 70% or so transparency of the

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.599
Showcase technology that exist today so it doesn't look like you're looking at

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:55.239
whatever it is through a dirty window but when that happens I mean man the sky

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

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:05.000
fantastic wearable tech technology when this stuff hits the mainstream and what

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:11.000
would make you look great with your wearable technology a clean shave Dollar
