A retractable, transparent TV that sits at the foot of your bed is just one of the ways LG Display will demonstrate its OLED technology during CES 2021. Ahead of the annual electronics show, which will be all-digital this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, LG Display announced it would demonstrate novel uses for its transparent OLED displays in the smart home, food service and transportation markets. During the show, which runs January 11-14, the company will host an "online showroom" comprised of multiple "zones" that illustrate how the company's displays can be applied to "objects and situations that people encounter on a daily basis."
"Transparent OLED is a technology that maximizes the advantages of OLED and can be used in various places in our daily lives, from stores, shopping malls, and architectural interiors to autonomous vehicles, subway trains, and aircraft," said Jong-sun Park, Senior Vice President & Head of the Commercial Business Unit at LG Display in a press release.
LG Display's transparent OLED screens have 40% transparency. According to the company, it is seeing growing demand for its transparent OLED technology in industries such as smart home, smart building, and transportation (including autonomous vehicles, aircraft and subways).

LG Display's "Smart Bed" concept is part the their Smart Home Zone and features a "frame" that hides a retractable 55-inch, transparent OLED display. The mobile frame can be moved from room to room depending on the needs of the owner, but it is primarily designed to placed at the foot of a bed. When the TV is in use, the display rises up from inside the frame, and the screen can be extended to various heights depending on the best screen ratio for the information being displayed. The frame also uses LG Display's Cinematic Sound OLED (CSO) technology to generate an audio signal by vibrating the screen instead of using traditional speakers.

In the company's Restaurant Zone, LG Display will demonstrate how its transparent OLED technology can be used in the food service industry. For example, patrons of a sushi bar could view information about the menu via a transparent screen that also serves as a partition between them and the chef. With their order placed, the guests could watch TV or a movie on the display while also watching the chef prepare their meal.

In the showroom's Metro Zone, LG Display will demonstrate how the a 55-inch transparent OLED display could replace a traditional window on a subway train. During a trip, passengers could watch the scenery pass by outside while also getting important travel data, such as news, weather information or route location.

LG imagines a bed with a hidden see-thru OLED TV set

LG Display is continuing its trend of reimagining the future of screens at CES 2021 with a new transparent TV. The panel is a 55-inch OLED, but its transparent design lets you see through it even when it’s turned on and displaying an image.
The screen achieves 40 percent transparency, LG Display says, which is an improvement over past transparent LCDs the company claims achieved only 10 percent transparency.

LG imagines the screen sitting at the foot of a bed, where it can rise up partially or in full to show information or videos while retaining a view of the other side of the screen. The panel as it’s designed now has built-in speakers, though it’s unclear precisely what audio features they will support. In an email the company said that its “Sound Solution technology” is “embedded in the frame.”
LG says the transparent OLED set can also be moved around the home if you’d like to position it somewhere else (if it were something you could actually buy, which you cannot right now).

The company sees this as both a smart home device and one that could one day be used in public settings, like in restaurants and on public transportation.
“Transparent OLED is a technology that maximizes the advantages of OLED and can be used in various places in our daily lives, from stores, shopping malls, and architectural interiors to autonomous vehicles, subway trains, and aircraft,” Jong-sun Park, LG Display’s senior vice president and head of commercial business, said in a statement. “It will grow into a next-generation display that can change the existing display paradigm.”

This isn’t the first transparent display to make a debut at CES; we’ve seen Samsung’s transparent OLED screens before, and Panasonic showed off a prototype transparent display back in 2016 (though it was only HD). And it’s not even LG’s first transparent OLED — the company announced last month it’s started developing see-through OLED sliding doors for office buildings and commercial spaces. LG also created a 77-inch curved transparent OLED back in 2017 that it imagined could be used for signage or advertising.

But this is LG Display’s first screen of this type it’s made strictly as a TV that would actually go in someone’s home, and not just something you’d see in a futuristic shopping center or some other commercial venue.
This is just one of many in a long line of LG Display experimental prototypes, some of which do indeed become real products you can buy. The company has made waves at past CES showcases with various iterations of its rollable OLED technology, while a commercial version of the TV using the tech finally went on sale in South Korea in October of last year for an eye-popping $87,000.
Unfortunately, there’s no indication right now that LG’s new transparent OLED TV will become a real product at some point in the future or how much it might cost if it does.
Correction, 9:10pm ET: the original version of this article stated that the display supported LG Display’s Cinematic Sound OLED (CSO) technology. That is not the case and the article has been updated. We regret the error.

If it is intangible no physical screen ok.

Otherwise likely a lot of accidental crash kick hit the screen crack and broken

Xiaomi reveals its transparent 55-inch TV
Here's hoping you don't accidentally knock over this $7,200 device because you didn't see it.

Some people might say the Mi TV Lux OLED Transparent Edition is silly. But some might say it's kinda awesome.

Xiaomi on Tuesday announced the "world's first mass-produced" see-through transparent TV, the Mi TV Lux OLED Transparent Edition, as part of its 10th anniversary celebration. The 55-inch device will set you back 49,999 yuan (around $7,200), and is scheduled to go on sale in the company's native China on Aug. 16.
"When Mi TV LUX OLED Transparent Edition is turned off, it looks like a mere glass display," the company said in a release. "The pictures it displays seem to be floating in the air, merging the virtual and the real to bring an unprecedented visual experience."
