WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF

Being able to manufacture truly transparent displays takes us one step closer to being able to develop transparent electronics – if you like that kind of thing.

A little while ago I showed off Panasonic’s concept invisible TV, and discussed how researchers were now using supercomputers to try to design the first truly transparent electronics and gadgets. Now on their 10^th birthday China’s Xiaomi have launched their own fully transparent TV, the Mi TV Lux Transparent Edition, that brings sci-fi into the living room with an edge-to-edge self-luminous television that you can see through. Furthermore, unlike other wannabe transparent TV’s, which make use of a whole host of interesting new technologies that aren’t quite there yet, Xiaomi say their new creation will be the world’s first mass produced transparent television.

AI Master Smart Engine and custom MediaTek processing brains make use of more than 20 optimization algorithms for image refinement, while AI Master for Audio auto adjusts the sound depending on the content being played, and there’s Dolby Atmos support too, and it’s priced at $7,200.
