Samsung planning to sell its see-through laptop in a year


Samsung has planned to make the idea of transparent screen, forward to the market and are thinking to liberate the transparent AMOLED laptop at the end of this year. If that was not strange enough, they plan to create a separate category of devices having such screens and will be releasing some in a year’s time.
The laptop has a 14 inch AMOLED display. AMOLED screens are really catching up on the conventional screens. They are thinner and have much better color display while overwhelming smaller power. They are fairly common in high end phones these days which brag of grand video quality and high battery life. The AMOLED screen used in this device allows 40 percent of light to pass through the screen when it is turned off. After turning it on, you can see your desktop and functions and a great deal of what is happening behind your screen. The screen offers very sharp and bright images, but you may not want to see what’s taking place behind your screen.
That apart, this device has no practical use, or at least we don’t see one yet. It will let people see what you are doing on your laptop. What happened to privacy? Its usability in sunlight will almost be null because of the sharp light coming through. Imagine watching a movie where you are disturbed every second by the scene behind your laptop. As for now, we cannot think of any proper use of this notebook and we will have to wait and see if Samsung finds some before the release.
Samsung is also working on a transparent navigation system which will mount on the car’s windshield. This is the only proper use of this technology we have seen so far. This makes a lot of sense as it will help drivers to navigate with minimum disturbance.
