Technology is a wonderful thing and it’s so exciting to be around when so many new concepts and ideas are coming to fruition. Today’s biggest technology news is that Samsung unveils its transparent and mirror displays, special OLED screens which do almost exactly what you might expect them to – the transparent display allows you to see straight through it while the mirror display shows you an exact reflection of yourself.
Now what use are these in the real world? Well, Samsung is already talking up several uses including allowing people to virtually try clothes on themselves using a mirror display in a store, or some interesting advertising applications for the transparent displays. Not only are these displays novel in application, but Samsung says these displays are better than LCD displays of today. We imagine it will be some time before Samsung has these out in commercial “virtual fitting rooms” and such, but it’s exciting to see where technology is headed, and tantalizing to consider whether this technology has an application in the mobile world. Transparent smartphones anyone?
