World's First Completely Transparent IC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday March 20, 2006 @01:11PM from the other-researchers-will-see-right-through-this dept.

An anonymous reader writes "DeviceForge is reporting that researchers at Oregon State University claim to have created the worlds first 'completely transparent' ICs (integrated circuit) from inorganic compounds. From the article: 'The technology can enable extremely inexpensive electronics for use in "throw away" devices, and is expected to be used in automobile windshields, cell phones, TVs, games, and toys, among other applications, OSU said. OSU also believes that the technology might result in more efficient solar cells or improvements and LCD displays (liquid crystal displays), it said.'"

I really hate it when people point this out.

The acronym "LCD" can, itself, be used as a noun. And, IMHO, ATM machine and PIN number are equally valid.
