It's incredible to think that the devices of science fiction theater have come into being,and the advances are rapidly transforming the way we obtain information.cell phones and bluetooth devices are the communicators of the early Star Trek era,as well as the ability to have a Skype video chat as was seen in the movie 2001:A Space Odyssey.
Though no official release date has been set,Samsung touted it's Transparent Smart Window earlier this year in Las Vegas at the CES 2012 show.This amazing device will revolutionize the way we interact with our technology.The screen presents the user with apps like Twitter,weather,and email,and can double as a window blind with only a swipe.
To answer the questions about privacy,no one on the other side of the window will be able to see what your doing because it operates as a one-way mirror from the outside.According to Samsung,the screen can be used to watch TV,display as a picture frame,or a host of other applications.You'd probably keep the kids away from playing baseball anywhere near that side of the house where the window is installed.
During the day,ambient light works as the backlight,for night use,two traditional edge-lighting sources are fitted to the screen.The 22-inch panel runs at 1680 x 1050 resolution and has a 500:1 contrast ratio.Regular LCDs are only 5-percent transparent,whereas Samsung's new panels increase that to 15-20-percent.It's still a concept device,and there are no specifics as to the ease of installation,price or further applications.
