“Transparent OLED is a technology that maximizes the advantages of OLED and can be used in various places in our daily lives, from stores, shopping malls, and architectural interiors to autonomous vehicles, subway trains, and aircraft,” said Jong-sun Park, Senior Vice President & Head of the Commercial Business Unit at LG Display in a press release.
LG Display’s transparent OLED screens have 40% transparency. According to the company, it is seeing growing demand for its transparent OLED technology in industries such as smart home, smart building, and transportation (including autonomous vehicles, aircraft and subways).
