Samsung has arrived at CES 2024 with a lot of advantage, or so it seems after having presented a lot of new products and technologies since the beginning of the year. And today we bring you a very interesting novelty.
As you may know, the major technology fair known as CES 2024 is officially taking place in Las Vegas and, during its First Look event, Samsung has unveiled the world’s first transparent micro LED display.
The South Korean electronics giant has not only revealed the main brightness and screen technology specifications of its QD-OLED S95D and a new range of soundbars that includes the Music Frame (a subwoofer that can be placed around the artwork on your walls), it has also shown three different transparent micro-LED displays.
A truly revolutionary television
Two of the presented units feature a tinted glass panel, making the frameless display easier to detect (while hiding potential distractions behind it), while a third one appears to be as transparent as regular glass, and also has a design devoid of any physical frame.
The technology blog states: “In person, the effect produced by Samsung’s transparent micro OLED screens is difficult to describe, as the content almost appears like a hologram while floating in the air”.
All demonstration units at the CES presentation were standalone, and the screen width, just one centimeter, undoubtedly contributes to the illusion of a floating screen. In addition, thanks to the pixel density of the micro-LED, the images appeared “incredibly sharp”.
For now, Samsung has only uploaded a video of the transparent micro-LEDs they have presented, but it’s better than nothing.
Samsung also claims that these transparent micro-LED displays are less affected by ambient light, as they have higher brightness compared to transparent OLED panels (take that, LG and the big push that has been given to transparent OLEDs).
We still don’t know the price, but considering that Samsung’s inaugural 89-inch micro-LED costs the same as a small house, we would bet that we have a long wait ahead before the technology becomes affordable enough for most of us to have a television with these features.
