World’s First Transparent OLED
by Sze | Filed under Computer
Have you watch the movie Minority Report? Remember the transparent computer screen used by Tom Cruise? We may be able to use that kind of sceen in the near future. The German researchers, located at the Technical University of Braunschweig have developed in their labs: World’s First Entirely transparent OLED (organic light emitting diode) pixels.
Their approach is to use transparent TFTs (thin-film transistors) made of a 100-nanometer-thick layer of zinc-tin-oxide, which transmits more than 90 percent of visible light. Such transistors are more often made of silicon, which is used for LCDs (liquid crystal displays) but is highly absorptive in the visible part of the spectrum.
In the transparent displays, the TFTs and the OLED pixels are positioned next to each other. The OLED pixel can be placed on top of the TFT driver circuit without interference.
# The pciture above is not the actual picture of the new development, it is an ordinary OLED.

I like the fact that flexible OLEDs have a faster response time than LEDs!
Keep it up (like I do
) Great site – loved the bit about yourselves.

[...] Before we have take a look on transparent OLEDs , now researchers at the University of Southern California and Princeton University have developed white-light OLEDs (organic light emitting diodes) that can cover just any surface, walls, ceilings, furnishings, and accessories, and become a light source. The new OLEDs are the result of 13 years of research by Mark Thompson of USC and Stephen Forrest of Princeton, who previously invented single-color OLEDs but, until now, have been unable to overcome the fast burnout time of the white-light types. The trick, as it turned out, was to use a fluorescent dye for the blue component of the OLED instead of a phosphorescence one, which consumed too much energy. [...]
Here is an interesting analogous invention concerning – completely transparent Glass that doesn’t reflect

this is soo cool but i am asking my self when is it gona come out
Could they use that to make an invisble car like in james bond?
In response to the above 2,
Fahrenheit 451: read it.
bout time they make em lol a new replacement for my house walls
Screw projectors, just get a wall in your house made out of that. That would kick ass!
Incredible! Check out these LCDs!
