    Looks like Fraunhofer's researchers aren't the only Germans able to get in on the transparent OLED thing.

Apparently the transparent displays, which were up to (and over) twice the brightness of today's displays, should be ready to rock in two years -- just in time for us to renovate the Department Of Precrime set we use act out Minority Report in during our lunch hour.
