Screens that appear to be transparent and similar to glass, but are capable of displaying images, are called transparent screens. In recent years, they have become increasingly common in shopping mall windows, exhibition halls, and even home decoration. Many people think it is quite cool when they first see it, but when they actually spend money to buy it or install it in their own homes, it is often difficult to understand what the principle is and how to use it.
Where are transparent screens suitable for use?
Some people think that the transparent screen is just a gimmick, but in fact its application scenarios are very practical. For example, if you open a clothing store and put a transparent screen on the window glass, during the day, customers can clearly see the clothes displayed inside through the window, and at night or when needed, it can play videos of models catwalking. In this way, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Many high-end mobile phone stores and car showrooms use this method to attract everyone's attention.
The home use scene is also gradually emerging. Some people install a transparent screen in the partition between the living room and the dining room. Normally it is just a piece of transparent glass, which does not affect lighting and sight lines. However, it can be turned on during meals and turns into a small TV for displaying recipes or playing movies. This kind of usage is quite clever, especially suitable for small apartments. It can not only save space but also add a sense of technology.
However, it should be noted that the transparent screen is not a universal patch. It must be fixed with a bracket or frame, and power wiring and signal transmission must also be considered. Assuming that your home has been renovated, it will be more troublesome to add temporary installations because it requires pre-embedded wire ducts or exposed wires. If it is still in the design stage, the location and route can be planned in advance.
What is the difference between a transparent screen and an ordinary TV?
Many people can't help but ask, if a transparent screen can only be regarded as a transparent TV, is this really the case? The answer is no. The back of an ordinary TV is opaque and relies on a backlight panel to emit light. The transparent screen is different. It uses transparent luminescent materials, such as OLED or LED light strips, sandwiched between two layers of glass. Its light transmittance is generally between 60 and 80%, which means that when you look at it, you can still clearly see what is behind it, but compared with ordinary TVs, the brightness of the picture will be lower.
Transparent screens are significantly different from ordinary TVs. Ordinary TVs use backlight panels to emit light. Transparent screens use transparent luminescent materials such as OLED or LED strips sandwiched between two layers of glass. Its light transmittance is usually in the range of 60 to 80%. In this situation, you can look at it and see what is behind it, but the brightness of the screen will be lower than that of ordinary TVs.
This has led to a practical problem, that is, when the light is extremely strong, the picture of the transparent screen will appear extremely pale, or even impossible to see clearly. Therefore, it is relatively more suitable to be used in spaces where the light can be controlled, such as windows that avoid direct sunlight, or used in conjunction with curtains. If you plan to install it facing the front of a sunny living room, the effect may not be as good as expected.
There is still one point, * is that the overall resolution of most current transparent screens is lower than that of ordinary TVs of the same size, especially when it comes to large-size examples. They use P3.9 or P6.
The transparent screen is not a product used to replace ordinary TVs, but a supplement specifically designed for specific scenes. It has a beautiful, special, and technological appearance, but when choosing, you have to choose based on actual needs, and you must not blindly follow the trend. If you just have the idea of wanting a screen with light transmission function, and the budget is completely affordable, then it is indeed worth experiencing.
If it is just for the sake of novelty, then it is recommended to think about where to place it and how to use it in advance, so as to prevent it from being something that can only be left aside and occupy space in vain after buying it.
