What is OLED and Transparent OLED Screen?
Transparent OLED screen is an advanced version of OLED technology. OLED, short for Organic Light-Emitting Diode, is also known as an organic light-emitting semiconductor. It offers self-illumination, wide viewing angle, high contrast, low power use, and fast response speed. Therefore, many companies now prefer OLED over traditional LCD.
Transparent OLED screen, also called see-through display, uses transparent components. It looks like the futuristic displays you often see in sci‑fi movies.
What is LCD and LED?
The LED display is built from LED dot pixels and PC boards. It shows text, pictures, animations, and videos, and the content changes anytime. Moreover, every part has a modular structure.
LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. LCD uses fluorescent lights and is common in TVs. However, because of the backlight and liquid crystal layer, LCDs are thicker than OLEDs. By contrast, OLED screens allow much thinner mobile phones and TVs.
The Benefits of Transparent OLED Display
Here we will show you six main benefits.
Perfect Transparency and Color Brilliance
Transparent OLED does not need a backlight. It uses self-lighting to achieve both perfect transparency and vivid colors. As a result, the display merges seamlessly with real objects behind it.
Contrast
High contrast is critical for display quality. OLED black pixels emit no light, so manufacturers can turn them off completely. At this point, the black level is almost zero, and the contrast looks nearly infinite.
Ultra Thin and Light Weight Screen
Transparent OLEDs remove the backlight, which enables thinner and lighter designs. In fact, the thinnest OLED panel can be only 1 mm thick.
Viewing Angle
Compared with LCD, transparent OLED displays provide a wider viewing angle.
Energy Consumption
OLED displays consume less energy than LCD because they do not require a backlight.
Screen Size
LCD, LED, and OLED displays all come in different sizes. Manufacturers can produce them in almost any size depending on the application.
Types of OLED Displays
Transparent OLED
Samsung first launched transparent OLEDs in 2015 and began supplying them in 2016. Later, LG also introduced transparent OLED TVs. Now, more manufacturers develop and improve this technology rapidly.
At present, two designs are very popular:
OLED Transparent Screen TV Wall
Mounted on a table or wall, it can work in both horizontal and vertical modes.
Floor OLED Transparent Screen Stand
This design includes a stand and wheels at the bottom, so the signage is mobile.
Flexible OLED
Manufacturers can curve OLED screens during production to fit environments and improve viewing angles.
The Applications of Transparent OLED Screen
- Shopping malls, stores, jewelry shops: Transparent OLEDs present product information in a modern way and attract more customers.
- Bars, restaurants: Install see-through screens to enhance customer experience.
- Banks, airports: Use them in transit systems to show travel info or ads. They can also generate ad revenue.
Where Can You Buy Transparent OLED Screen?
Transparent OLED is a breakthrough in digital signage display technology. Although it is still developing, factories continue research, and the market grows steadily.
