We have already seen the commercial production of OLED screens in MP3 players and on the  Sony XEL-1  television.

Now two manufacturers have produced transparent OLED screens for an electronics fair in Japan. The LG OLED screen meausures 15″ while Samsung are demoing a 2″ screen. This is an exciting development which has many applications, including head-up displays and GPS for cars. I can also see that they would be great if combined with emergent reality, for example in sun glasses. The screens have a transmitance of around 30%.

Videos of the Samsung display  in action can be found here.
