Transparent Screens on the Horizon?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-lost-my-monitor dept.

mhesseltine writes "According to United Press, researchers in Japan are developing transparent transistors. This could bring about see-through screens like those in Minority Report. Also, I imagine would be better heads-up displays (HUDs) for vehicles, layered flat panel displays, and new methods of interfacing with information screens."

    Can't you see through this story? Clearly, it's an advertisement.

    I would hope the editors would try and be a little less transparent.

    I swear, sometimes I feel invisible around here.

    So a blue screen of death while driving would block your vision while you careen into a wall, and really die. Cool!

    Now I don't have to waste valuable CPU cycles on creating a wallpaper.. I can just put real wall paper behind my display.
