transparent show have been A everywheresand happened again Consumer Electronics Industry Topics many yearsbut the trend is surging again at CES 2024, with projects like LG Iconic OLED T Transparent TV and Samsung transparent MICRO LED display.
Lenovo is known for its active Research and develop initiativelast year with its Rollable laptop concept and sister devices Motorola rollable phoneboth perhaps Inspire go through LG,
This year, Lenovo will Mobile World Congress 2024 and ThinkBook transparent display laptop concepta laptop with a 17.3-inch translucent display and numeric keypad.
this ThinkBook transparent display laptop concept feature is 17.3-inch MicroLED display The resolution is 720p, the refresh rate is 120 Hz, and the peak brightness is 1000 nits, delivering vibrant visuals and smooth transitions.
When the user brings the stylus close to the laptop, the virtual keyboard, which glows in one of seven available colors, disappears, turning the entire surface into a drawing tablet. ThinkBook transparent display laptop designed for artists and designers (just like in my previous life), but it will not fit Suitable for heavy keyboard users such as writers or programmers.
The rear camera enables object recognition and supports various augmented reality (AR) applications. Lenovo showed off an AI feature that placed a sunflower behind a laptop and a text prompt triggered an on-screen butterfly animation. Lenovo envisions users using the transparent display to track objects placed behind it, Turn your laptop into expensive tracing paper for consumers eager to learn to draw. This feature allows Architects and professional designers overlay digital designs onto real-world environments, unlocking new avenues of creativity and visualization.
When the brightness is increased to 1,000 nits, the display can be fully translucent or become an opaque white surface. The laptop functions like a traditional Windows PC in opaque mode, supporting typical tasks such as web browsing, image and text file manipulation, and stylus-based drawing. While the overall user experience feels smooth, achieving accurate drawing may require adjustments. For example, I had to close one eye to draw the petals of a sunflower perfectly.
The device’s sleek and elegant design, display quality, and AR capabilities had me imagining for a second time the feasibility of consumer electronics devices with transparent displays as tangible products.
As Lenovo puts it, “The technology opens up more possibilities for the future by further optimizing image quality, durability, and adjustable transmittance to provide more privacy or greater transparency for interacting with real-world objects. “.
