I love checking out new tech patents as they give us a glimpse of what the future might hold. This latest patent filing from Samsung is very interesting as it shows off a smartphone with a transparent display! Not only is the display transparent, but it also appears to have an integrated touch panel on the back! Pretty nifty stuff if you ask me!
One possible application for this that I can think of off the top of my head is a phone that would have no front or back. Regardless which way you hold the phone, you’ve always got the screen facing you! Maybe not the greatest idea out there, but an idea nonetheless. I’m sure Samsung will come up with some great ideas for this kind of tech.
Now if you think this tech is ways away still you may be in for a surprise. I came across several different videos on YouTube that show off several different concepts for transparent display devices. Check them out below, I’m sure you’ll be impressed!
