When many people see a transparent screen for the first time, their first reaction is "Why is this screen transparent?" In fact, it is not a magic trick, but based on OLED technology or the arrangement of LED lamp beads, so that the pixels retain partial light-transmitting characteristics when displaying the screen. This technology breaks down the dark background of traditional displays, making the picture appear to be suspended in the air. For consumers, the visual impact is great; however, for merchants, this is not only a display window, but also a revolution in space utilization.
What are the practical uses of transparent screens in retail stores?
Entering a high-end clothing store or walking into a jewelry display counter, you will notice that the background is no longer a cold and rigid wall, but has become something with flowing sensory connotations like a story. The biggest advantage of transparent screens is what is called "information overlay". When standing in that place, on the one hand, you can clearly see the various products placed behind you through the screen, and on the other hand, you can see promotional information or product details floating on the screen.
This unique experience of combining reality and reality is much more attractive than simply posting posters. Customers no longer need to move their bodies in order to view the price tags. They just need to use their fingers slightly, and the price, material and even matching suggestions will immediately appear in front of their eyes.
For restaurants, transparent screens are extremely powerful tools. Just imagine, you take a seat by the window, the street view is displayed outside the window, and the 3D model of today's special dish is played on the glass inside the window, and you can even witness the entire process of the ingredients from the field to the table. This sense of immersion directly increases the expectations of the meal. It does not take up additional wall space, but instead transforms an otherwise unused glass partition into a highly valuable advertising space. Here, the ability to monetize traffic is expanded to the limit.

It's like pushing coffee to refresh people during the morning rush hour, and pushing late-night snacks during the evening rush hour. This kind of precision marketing has brought about an increase in conversion rate, and this increase can fully cover the investment in hardware.
