Samsung AMOLED laptop.

Nokia has a phone that has a clear screen that was all for looks. I don’t care for being able to see through a screen myself; the feature is more of a gimmick to me. I certainly don’t want to be able to see through the display of my notebook at what is going on behind me.
Samsung showed off a notebook with a transparent AMOLED screen a while back and the notebook was popular enough that reports are now coming in that Samsung plans to bring the notebook to market in the next 12 months. The machine will come with the clear AMOLED screen that will drive the ADD prone to be unproductive.
Samsung is also reportedly looking to bring more transparent screen devices to market. Perhaps the coolest, and most useful, of the rumored products is a GPS navigation device for cars. This one transparent screen device makes sense. Seeing through your nav would eliminate blind spots when driving.

Here you go.
Is it tranparent on the other side too? Can someone see what your up to?
“OMG what are you looking at?!”
lol
Just thinking about it gives me eyestrain, a terrible headache and possibly tangled eyes.
At last, my wife can see my porn.
Samsung's product is rumoured to cost an extra $2,000 over an equivalent laptop with an LCD display. Production is low, demand is high and marginal production costs are very high. Sony is working on production technology that may reduce costs.
As for this see-through business: it is useless gimickry.
this will be an obvious dud. sure, it has some gee-whiz factor, but at the end of the day, you want to do some work... and that won’t cut it.
meanwhile, where are all the people to bash it, like they bashed the ipad?
Could two or more screens be used for a 3-D effect?
bttt
It’s a nice proof of concept product. I see many future, very practical, uses for it. Being marketed as a laptop screen doesn’t seem to be one of them.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head for the best possible uses. Think of adding multiple layers, and not just one or two, and being able to reorder what’s being displayed on each layer.
Operating rooms, for nanosurgery, construction, mining, a whole new paradigm in Cad-Cam, etc.
Now imagine, for instance in an operating theater, 3 or 4 surgeons having a display and being able to reorder each one independently of the others.
Keeping in mind that the last physical screen will need an opaque backplane.
Pretty exciting stuff.
Wild.
Breaching on the level of absurd.
So, how am I supposed to surf for porno in a public place now???
