Samsung Develops a Transparent OLED Laptop Screen

Posted by Soulskill on from the harder-to-hide-your-mmo-habit-from-the-boss dept.

Dyne09 writes "The Design blog has posted an entry on Samsung's new laptop with a transparent OLED screen. The photos show a dark-tinted and dimly-lit screen that is fully see-through. While the utility of a see-through laptop probably isn't that high for the average user, several medical and industrial industries could greatly augment design work or frame 3-D models over real life in real-time."

    there certainly is some geek coolness in having a transparent display on a laptop, although I question the usefulness of it; particularly when one is playing back pr0n on said laptop.

    Heads-up display, much like the system used in Cadillacs.

    viewing a map with turn by turn superimposed over the windshield would be killer app
