We’re getting closer to owning a 55-inch transparent OLED.
One of the big tech trends at CES 2021 could be transparent displays, and LG is leading the charge with a showcase of where its 55-inch transparent OLED technology could feature in our everyday lives. Currently, LG is the only company manufacturering transparent OLED displays, but there are others making transparent LCD screens. LG claims that its OLED technology is superior, with its panels achieving 40% transparency, where as LCD only offers 10%. During CES 2021, LG will show off its 55-inch transparent OLED in a number of ways, including seeing the panel being built into a frame that’s designed to sit at the foot of your bed. The TV will be able to rise out of the frame (as we’ve seen with traditional TV-in-bed configurations), and display information at a variety of aspect ratios – meaning you won’t need to necessarily fire up the entire screen every time you use it. There are cinematic speakers built into the frame as well, removing the need for additional surround speakers (although we’re unable to say whether these speakers are any good).
