I do not see how this is such a breakthrough, the LCDs i worked with back in 2006 were larger than this. They are however a feast to your eyes you can probably go to any casino in Vegas or any other one and look for Williams gaming machines and find these types of screens all over the place.

Seethrough is nothing new and 14" isn't either i think they are just trying to fool the average consumer.]]>Jan 7th 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/Jan 7th 2010 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/
If either side could dim then this would really be something. If they could make the other side touch capable then convertible tablets would be a thing of the past. This tech has promise...... But I agree I wouldnt want to see anyones goings on.....

Take away the edges, and the laptop part, add a second screen at right angles to the first, cross-joined in the center of each panel, feed the screen array some lovely new programming and ... voila ... a reasonable facsimile of holography.

Surely you can imagine Princess Leah in the center of such an arrangement? It does not *need* to be a "laptop" ... a semi-transparent or fully transparent screen has many other uses, and sets the stage for some radical re-thinking of what we project on our monitors.

Take a couple of 6"x8" units, set up as I described above, set them above your "normal" monitor and project voice chat onto the little transparent screen array.

Use them for 3-dimensional displays, for things like remote surgery and even shopping.

Heads-up displays could benefit from this, too.

Imagination is always key to being able to appreciate new stuff. ;)]]>Jan 7th 2010 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/
Right well it doesn't "need" to be a laptop, but this one is. The issue here was why it was a laptop; what you're talking about is something you would do with transparent OLED monitors, which is a different discussion. Honestly without a webcam on the back and some major breakthroughs in consumer-level AR software, this really is useless as a laptop.]]>Jan 8th 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/Jan 7th 2010 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/Jan 7th 2010 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/Jan 7th 2010 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/OMG!]]>Jan 7th 2010 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/

Car dashboard, you could then display the speedometer, gps on a corner of the screen, as well as all other sorts of information.

At 40% transparency, not much. get that above 85%, then we're talking.
Back it up with an e-ink display, and you have the best of both worlds. ]]>Jan 7th 2010 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/Jan 7th 2010 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/
