The transparent LCD display panel enables a person to look right through it like glass, and it consumes 90% less electricity compared with a conventional back-lit LCD panel. This will surely revolutionize advertising, education and communication through its use in show windows, outdoor billboards, showcase events, corporations and schools.

Transparent LCD Technology - Endless Possibilities

Samsung leads the global LCD market with the world’s first mass produced transparent display product. Transparent displays have a wide range of use in all industry areas as an efficient tool for delivering information and communication. 

These panels can be applied to show windows, outdoor billboards, and in showcase events. Corporations and schools can also adopt the panel as an interactive communication device, which enables information to be displayed more effectively.

Benefits of Transparency

Samsung's transparent LCD panel boasts the world’s best transmittance rate of over 20% for the black-and-white type and over 15% for the color type.

The transparent LCD panels have a high transmittance rate, which enables a person to look right through the panel like glass, and it consumes 90% less electricity compared with a conventional LCD panel using back light unit.

How does it work? A transparent LCD panel utilizes ambient light such as sunlight, which consequently reduces the power required since there is no backlight.

Samsung's transparent LCD panel maximizes convenience for not only manufacturers but also consumers by incorporating the High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) and the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. These panels come in two types, the black-and-white type and the color type, and has a contrast ratio of 500:1 with WSXGA+ (1680*1050) resolution.
