Samsung to show transparent display
Samsung has developed a big-screen OLED (organic light emitting diode) screen that's transparent, and plans to show it at this week's IFA consumer electronics expo in Berlin.
The screen, which is intended for use in shops and not on consumer TVs, measures 55 inches across. It will be shown alongside a second version that features a mirrored back and is also intended for retail use.
