LG Display to Feature Transparent OLED in Home, Commercial Settings

LG Display will showcase new transparent OLED applications at virtual CES, including a 55-inch display that rises from a frame at the foot of a bed, presenting information or TV programming in various screen ratios, it said Thursday. LG’s Cinematic Sound is embedded in the frame, which is designed to be portable for transferring between rooms. For commercial applications, LG will demonstrate a 55-inch transparent OLED display in a restaurant zone, where guests waiting for their order can view a movie or TV program while watching the chef prepare their order on the other side of the display. A transit application will show a transparent display as a replacement window on a subway train, providing subway line maps and news, while allowing passengers to view passing scenery, said the company. Other applications are smart homes, smart buildings, autonomous vehicles and aircraft.
