Transparent Transistors?

ExRex writes "New Scientist has this article about a material developed at the Tokyo Institute of Technology which is not only both a semi-conductor and ferro-magnetic at room temperature, but is also transparent. It may lead to flat panels which contain both image processing circuitry and memory in the screen itself." They're thinking laptops, but I'm thinking heads-up displays.

Heck, do a few layers of these, and couldn't you build a whole PC (minus the hard drive, power supply, and ports) into a sheet of clear plexiglass? Add some touch sensors, some photoreceptors.. and you've got the holy grail of the computer artist.

Steve Jobs must be wetting his pants.
