   I honestly don't think I'd ever want a transparent display for anything more than the novelty factor. I'd much rather work, game, and watch videos on a full, bright, and opaque display.

   Not a key logger, but a small web cam on the top that will monitor how people "use and view" the panel

   Yes I would only have one for the novelty.

   But for comercial use it might be a really good thing. Window adds in Stores from supermarkets to shoes stores could benefit. It also will open up the door for more interactive displays, and maybe even work for motiongraphic artists in store window displays.

   90% less energy is also interesting. If it is cheap people might find all kinds of use for it.

   Next step: Transparent touchscreens they can lay out in serial on glass, then you have your sci-fi wall/desk interface

    Last time I checked a regular display only monitor does not take user inputs that are relayed to the computer, so no the hardware itself would not. The Software CD that'll likely come with it however... no bets on that. XD

    I really hope this doesn't become something akin to the "can it play crysis?" text macro, and if it does I hate you all.

    Just a thought, how much contrast can you expect something to have that is transparent?

    Okay, I'm tired of the stuff about the Samsung Keylogger. Everyone should read this article right away. Also, TS, Would someone please make an updated article about the Samsung keylogger incident before any more people get misinformed?

    Yeah it turned out the key logger story was bogus. No way would al big company risk getting sued and fined millions for something that stupid.
