The Samsung Transparent Smart Window

Imagine a world of look-through monitors, interactive windows, and glass windows that convey all the information on the screen rather than underneath the dashboard.
Now imagine that, instead of the stuff of science fiction films and a pipe dream, the technology that will enable this to be a possibility that will be into production in just 20 days.
At CES in Las Vegas Samsung screen demoing a new touchscreen technology that translucent.
Dubbed the Samsung Smart Transparent Window, Transparent LCD touchscreen technology can enter the window size to 46 inches and provides a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels allows full interaction at the same time.

Imagine a world of look-through monitors, interactive windows, and glass windows that convey all the information on the screen rather than underneath the dashboard.
Now imagine that, instead of the stuff of science fiction films and a pipe dream, the technology that will enable this to be a possibility that will be into production in just 20 days.
At CES in Las Vegas Samsung screen demoing a new touchscreen technology that translucent.
Dubbed the Samsung Smart Transparent Window, Transparent LCD touchscreen technology can enter the window size to 46 inches and provides a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels allows full interaction at the same time.
Users will be able to supply content via HDMI or USB, and in our demo video that perfectly reproduced quickly jump between different menu choices such as checking the details of the trip, the weather, what's on television, or even just use it as an expensive blind to block the light.
No word on price or where we will see this next, but the possibilities are endless thanks to our love of glass.

One possibility as we heard during our demo at CES is in submersibles instrumentation where you want to move out of the way of glass viewing area. That's really a niche, but imagine a car designer is able to remove dashboard of your car altogether, or Minority Report-style computer that only large sheets of glass rather than a large monitor that you have in your office today.
To demonstrate what is possible outside the window, Samsung also showcased the technology with a smaller monitor. The same display technology can be used to make smaller screens with higher resolution. In this example measured 22 inches and offers a higher resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels.
And if you worry that others will be able to see what you are doing from behind the scenes. Do not. Samsung says that the technology comes with a privacy screen that works like a mirror in one direction.
