February 5, 2015

Planar Systems, Inc. announced it will feature new transparent OLED technology this month at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2015.

According to the company, the 55-inch prototype at ISE 2015 will utilize Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology to improve the transparency of see-through displays, creating new opportunities for experience design while overcoming a major hurdle to transparent display adoption. OLED displays are self-emitting, eliminating the need for a backlight or enclosure.

“The vision of transparent displays, popularized for decades in science fiction movies and television shows, is now nearing reality,” said Jennifer Davis, vice president of marketing at Planar Systems. “This technology is poised to revolutionize space design, customer engagement, and the digital display of information and branding for decades to come, and we are proud to be a pioneer in this next wave of transparent display development.”

Transparent displays allow users to view what is shown on a glass video screen while still being able to see through it, enabling them, for example, to overlay digital images onto real objects that sit behind the glass. Based on continued customer feedback and further technology development under way, Planar anticipates adding transparent OLED technology as a product offering in early 2016, paving the way toward broad market adoption.

Planar’s transparent OLED technology will be demonstrated February 10-12 at ISE 2015 in Amsterdam, Planar Stand #3-A80. It will also be on display March 10-11 at the Digital Signage Expo (DSE) 2015 in Las Vegas, Planar Booth #1018.
