How about they make the smart TV disappear?
The ads are paying for your 3k OLED shot Lord.
You couldn’t afford it otherwise 🤡
Alternatively, the TV company executives will need to buy a slightly smaller yacht next year.
Domestic terrorist spotted.
this is a fascinating article as it goes into heavy detail about both techs and how they work.
but this did make me facepalm a bit:
“That’s why the transparent OLED TV LG demonstrated at CES 2024 included a “contrast layer”—basically, a black cloth—that unrolls and covers the back of the display on demand.”
I’m not sure I can think of many practical applications for these devices.
I think most applications are going to be flashy nonsense like the vending machine I saw with a transparent display over the products. But that said, there could be a lot of opportunities for things like head-up displays, ubiquitous and stylized data displays, or even mundane applications of a commoditized version of this technology like tunable window colors.
the vending machine would be interesting for sure. i just hope it will be worth the length and cost of the development of this tech.

They’ll make a really bad implementation of this just like Walgreens did with their screens in cooler doors: example
You can never see the contents of the fridge directly. Worse, the screens cycle so that giant word “Pizza” doesn’t let you see inside, so now you have to open the door to see what pizza is in there or stand there in front waiting for the display to cycle to show you pictures of whats in side.
Eh. Seems like a solution in search of a problem.
Uh oh, adverts on the metro/train/bus window.
oh fuck me
