Term of the Moment

Definition: transparent TV
A TV set that has a transparent OLED screen. When not rendering content, the screen mostly disappears. For example, in a cramped apartment, the TV can be placed against a window, and when not in use, the window is visible. In a commercial environment, seeing through the screen is eye catching, and depending on the interior layout of a home, it may be equally intriguing. See TOLED.
A Transparent TV
If This Were a Transparent TV
At CES 2024, LG debuted this $60,000 77" OLED transparent TV. When viewing regular TV, a film in back is lowered. (Image courtesy of LG Electronics.)
Instead of a black void, the shutters and flowers behind this LG OLED TV would be visible. If the price ever reaches human levels, interior designers might embrace it.
