The Different Types of Transparent Displays
What is a Transparent Display?
Developing a transparent display has been the centre of focus for many small and large tech companies which are trying to manufacture screens which can have many commercial as well as household applications in the near future. The display combines the features of a normal see-through glass with the features of a special, purpose built screen which is able to display text, imagery and video or a combination of all three at the same time.
Even though the technology has been in existence for quite some time, further development on fine tuning it to aid in its mass adoption among business owners as well as casuals has only received headway in recent times. With many companies now focusing on developing such screens, it is only a matter of time till we begin seeing them in our homes and shops near us.
Different Types of Transparent Displays
A transparent glass display is not easy to manufacture as it needs to be completely see through for it to be used in the proper way which ensures the best user experience. As such, companies have experimented with the technology by combining it with different types of transparent displays to give the best results. Some of the different types of transparent glass displays include;
a) Transparent Touch Display
A transparent touch display has been seeing a lot of attention in recent times due to the functionality it offers in terms of commercial usage and industry applications. Transparent touch displays allow the user to interact with the screen to find out information regarding the products displayed in a showcase, eliminating the need to hire shop attendants.
b) Transparent Digital Display
Transparent digital displays are being developed to help brands and companies advertise their products in a new and innovative manner. These screens are best suited for OOH (out-of-home) advertising and can be inserted in place of normal glass windows in buildings for advertising purposes.
c) Transparent Screen Display
Transparent screen displays are being integrated in many retail stores and outlets to help brands showcase their products in a different and more appealing manner. This will allow brands to display their products in a way which might influence customer purchase decision.
d) Transparent Display Box
Transparent display boxes are portable versions of showcase displays which allow you to display your products in your shop or any other retail outlet. The in-built media players accompanying these displays allow you to change the display features to show text, images and videos to liven up the atmosphere of your shop.
e) Transparent LCD Display
These displays have liquid crystals which are best to display sharp images and videos used in advertising content. Transparent LCD displays can be installed in practically every place including bus stations, sidewalks as well as in shops.
f) Transparent Glass LED Display
These displays use light-emitting diodes which are the best when it comes to displaying darker images due to the good color of blacks as a result of the ‘selective dimming’ function built into these panels. Transparent glass LED displays are also more efficient than their LCD counterparts as they consume less electricity too.
g) Transparent OLED Display
OLED technology is the latest in the market and is being widely adopted in transparent displays due to the benefits it offers. Transparent OLED Displays do not have a backlight which allows for a thinner and lighter design which allow for easy installation and transportation.
Where to buy a Transparent Display?
Many companies manufacture both standard as well as custom transparent glass displays for clients which have special requirements. This depends on the store size, ambience and layout which are key in determining which transparent display modules will be the best to display the type of content you wish to show on your transparent glass display.
Different sizes are available for purchase if you are looking to buy a transparent display. Each display has its advantages and disadvantages over the other which has an effect on their pricing.
