CES Gadgets: Transparent Laptop

[jontycampbell]

Pointless for laptops as it will reduce contrast in word processing. I don't want to see through my laptop screen. White or off white paper, black text for readability please. What next? Transparent books or e readers?

[newpotcigs21]

Yeah lets have these screens as are windshields in are cars right...they will I almost guarantee it.

[shadowmaster995]

Who cares? Its a windows....

[NineTailsDemonFox]

okay this is a start - but I still want my holographic images like in Star Wars.

[locouk]

Wow! You can enjoy porn from both sides of the screen!

Thats also a downside because the Mrs can see too...

[Tacman556]

Great, now I can stare at all the dust bunnies and cables that I hid behind my screen.

[alejanse]

... And the world lost the ability to watch porn comfortably ever again.

[mBrooks95]

if ur watching porn in the office at work ur skrewed

[zantiertasa]

Now... we just need a good technology to show an image dependant on viewing angle. I would love to see an analog solution to this.

[balisemusique]

I like the design, but I think that is not solide.

[123harith]

holy wow :O

[BelgianGurista]

emphasising the word 'your imagination' makes me think of, "we have no real application for this, our innovation is useless..." Doubt it, we'll ever see one home application of this in our lifetime. :)

[spartin11333]

thats hot

[dudwls86]

hey! they are koreans.. and also saw korean program icons. like gomplayer the video player and the egg icons.. and the samsung personal card

[meever78]

not on a laptop, but on the car windshield, that's where you need it.

[locouk]

@meever78 Play GTA while ur driving... Yeah, that make sense...

[chadlovlin]

This is actually really cool. Imagine it with touch screen. This is really cool in my opinion

[nightmareagenda383]

Rock and roll jy vagina lol! I need to get laid...

[BrokenBjartur]

Now we need a few layers and what you have is a 3D image.

[StuAndrewz]

dont get me wrong its pretty cool, but i really dont see the big attraction about having a transparant screen on your laptop..it would annoy me, plus is the picture quality as good as a regular monitor..?

[travers114]

It's more of a tech demonstration than actual usefulness.

[dr1pdr0pz]

i think it would be annoying seeing through your monitor when your doing something

[freewngs]

If Apple made a Macbook like this it would sell tons just on a coolness factor.

[giventofly3337]

I don't like people on the other side of the screen being able to see the information or what i have pulled up as well. Last thing I need is to be sitting in a cafe and the guy next to me being able to see personal information or financial info I'm typing on my monitor. It looks really cool, but for me security would be an issue.

[technet93]

@giventofly3337 The O.L.E.D pixil shoots light photons forward. As seen as an example in the video when they look dirctly behind the screen you cant interpret any information thats being displayed. So "no you cant see any information from behind" as matter of fact the manufacturer would have to put the same passive-matrix on the other side to see anything clearly or at all!

[dinmagic]

@giventofly3337

True, but if they ever do sell a transparent laptop, I believe they will give an add-on that locks behind the screen to cover it up. Have you seen how it looks like from the behind? It's a lot harder to see the image from the back than it is to see the image from upfront. Basically most of the Light is shun directly to the user while limiting light shunning from behind.

[loonybin1125]

Wow... Can't wait for this technology to develop!

[omniquiddity]

HUD!

Sorry, guys. It's not crosshaired for shooting people (at least not yet). But things like GPS streetlevel views would come alive and be much more informative in conjunction with a camera facing away. Turn it toward a building and info would pop-up (already apps for cellphones); face recognition improvements & a few years from now no one will be anonymous. Isn't Google already trying to make all images searchable? A lot of change comin'.

[peterwansink92]

En wat is daar het praktisch nut van?

[hana956]

haha :p

[Makav2li]

This is damn awsome but does it have any practical use :|?

[dylanroo]

This is one of the most amazing things I've seen.. We go from huge boxes which can only play pong to tiny transparent screens where you can play on. It's freaking amazing.

I bet, in 10 years the Ironman computer isn't a dream anymore!

[mufmaxtv]

yeah def

[bussooa]

its definatly better for youre eyesight

lesser  strain etc

[RobertJanJansma]

Scary shit, no longer a safe haven behind my screen? Without doubt a great tech achievement, but let's get serious: what is the f****n use man?!? Oh great, I can see my wall? Ceiling? OK boss coming up the corridor, hmmmmm...;-))

[Zwafelkop]

Bleh why making a transparent laptop make somthing better like a holographic screen....

[likes2snipe]

I want windows with this....hehehehehe

[Prestonboy13]

how do they even begin to do that

[bkroaat2k7]

This. Is. Win!

[LDeltaLive]

That monitor is awesome. I wonder how much this technology will cost once they start selling it.

[wimpie25]

This is a great thing for the industry, believe me. I didn't think this was possible.

[justlyphe]

yeah, don't know how practical this is right now, but it's pretty cool. Mucho bragging rights.

[humaner]

I want a transparent swimsuit.

[SirPinguin]

Then I hope ur a girl...

[robvh2]

I want to see how opaque you can make it. It could be very distracting to see through it. Can the display create a completely opaque area?

I suspect it can do so by displaying a solid colour which is also bright enough. But what about darker colours or black areas?

The answer to this question will, in my opinion, largely dictate whether consumers ultimately want it or not.

[CHUCKY12o]

wtf that's amazing!

[spartan9180]

Oh gos I want an OLED/touch screen very badly. Both combined would be fantastic.

[yakyakyak69]

sun glasses

[demblic]

now that is very cool when can I have one

[miniscus5]

wow amazing!!!!!!

[pubtor]

I'd like a transparent tablet

[Multimentalisti]

and why would u wanna see trough ur TV the picture is bad enough without a see trough screen!

[Colortiniz]

OLED is very cool

[jefevonQ]

This seems like a waste of tech on a laptop. It isn't THAT transparent. Not a very good job of selling it.

[r0l0kcs]

science fiction is becoming reality very fast :)

[trento654]

loving all these new gadgets

[MrBee671]

wow

[animejbp1]

wow cool
