Researchers at Samsung Electronics has reached a new level in the field of LED screens, which could lead to the production of screens "ultra-large" and affordable embedded in ordinary glass, like windows. These screens may one day replace the windows of our offices and buildings for lighting and display information in an innovative way.
"In ten years, the windows used for lighting and displays, giving personality to buildings," said one of the researchers in charge of the project in an interview with the Korean English-language daily The Korea Herald. According to the article, researchers at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology have discovered a revolutionary "manufacturing of gallium nitride monocrystalline form almost on amorphous glass substrates, a crucial step that will produce huge slabs LED ".
"The gallium nitride LED on the market are just 5 cm, and this new technology could increase their size by 400," said The Korea Herald.
If the transparent screens seem to currently confined to the sci-fi movies and prototypes presented at trade fairs devoted to new technologies, the research firm Displaybank provides marketing to the general public in 2012. And by 2025, estimates the firm announced $ 1.17 billion of transparent screens on the market, generating $ 87.2 billion in revenues.
Samsung has already introduced several prototypes of transparent screens, like 22-inch Chinese exhibited at this year's Flat Panel Display, MP3 player with AMOLED touchscreen and transparent named IceTouch (YP-H1), and a prototype laptop with a transparent screen 14-inch color OLED unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show 2010. The Korean brand is not alone in this field: Sony Ericsson has developed the mobile Xperia Pureness has a transparent LCD screen (but mono) and LG took advantage of Digital Signage Expo to unveil its 2011 IPS LCD screen 47-inch , which could have future applications in digital signage, according to the manufacturer.
