AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode): A display technology for use in mobile devices such as mobile phones. OLED describes a specific type of ultra thin, ultra bright display technology which doesn’t require a backlight and Active-Matrix refers to the technology behind the addressing of pixels. AMOLED technology continues to make progress towards low-power and low-cost large size (e.g. 40-inch) for applications such as TV. -Wikipedia
Surfing around the web this morning, I just stumbled across a really cool invisible AMOLED laptop prototype pictured on Gizmodo. Check it out:
I don’t know how the translucency translates to enhanced usability, but it sure does look cool!

Looks like Windows Vista to me. And seems to be a terrible experience: Reflections and now moving things in the background will kill your eyes.
Isn’t that Windows Vista btw?
Now there’s a solution looking for a problem (and creating several problems of its own).
The most obvious use, and the one I thought of the instant I saw the pic of the device with the guy’s hands behind it, would be so people can see what they’re pressing without their fingers getting in the way. It’d probably be a boon for software demos, for example.
Otherwise, yeah, it’s quite cool. ^^
I find this hard to believe…the screen seems too bright to me, and some of the lit parts are not translucent at all.
Imagine if this screen were touch enabled: then the transluceny would make this excellent for tracing pictures of objects that you place behind the screen.
would be perfect for heads up display in a car.
this is awesome stuff…but wonder how people can use it
The car display reply sounds nice indeed… instead of staring at a gps, which is located in the middle of the car (between driver and co-driver), this could be projected in front of the driver, which still allows the driver to see through it
.
Other than that, it think it will be annoying to work with.. most offices I know, have cabels and junk behind the screen.. or another colleague.. now do you really want to stare at the unattractive fat guy picking his nose the whole time… (ok, there might be an upside here as well, if you’re facing a nice attractive girl in front.. but let’s face it, neither of us works at playboy mansion
)…

Probably not the most practical thing, but its still cool.
I love how flexible OLEDs have a quicker response time than LEDs!
This is awesome! I saw an iPhone concept like this a few months ago. Interested to see if it actually happens.
