this is a fascinating article as it goes into heavy detail about both techs and how they work.
but this did make me facepalm a bit:
“That’s why the transparent OLED TV LG demonstrated at CES 2024 included a “contrast layer”—basically, a black cloth—that unrolls and covers the back of the display on demand.”
I’m not sure I can think of many practical applications for these devices.
Honestly, having a huge window that is also a TV sounds great.
Want some natural light and a nice view? Got that window.
Want a nice big TV? One click and the room darkens and you get a huge screen.
I have heard they (South Korea) plan on building skyscrapers with screens covering the buildings, so that they can project the background skyline via the screens. The effect would be to render the building almost invisible. Seems like a lofty goal, so I am not sure if they are still pursuing that project or not.
I feel like we have too many birds so I see this as an absolute win.
