[@mikescholz6429]

Need clear oleds for this

[@Scrogan]

@@mikescholz6429 You’re probably right, but I’m not certain. Would two LCDs stacked block all light due to the polarisation? What if you put the second LCD at right angles? I’m not sure how the display in this video works in the first place, considering he removed the polarising film from the front in the first place.

[@smith7602]

Polarization is weird. Take a polarizer and put another on it at an angle and it blocks all the light. Then you get a third polarizer and put it at the angle of the first and whelp the light's back.

[@mikescholz6429]

@@Scrogan I’ve seen this done with like 6 or 8 128x64 pixel clear oleds that only light up white but the effect was still pretty sweet. Theres a video on here somewhere of this

[@Whiskeyj456]

I think adding a thin sheet of glass in front and a frosted sheet of glass or acrylic behind the LCD would really transform the displays looks and durability. A lightly frosted back glass would provide enough obscurity to make background details not make the screen unusable but still provide light to illuminate the LCD while also being somewhat transparent. Having it crystal clear looks awesome but I just wouldn’t be able to focus on anything on the screen personally

[@mitulkotak]

Now layer it with a clear OLED panel LCD blocks light. OLED emits light. In theory, combining both would allow you to make certain elements more opaque while others remain fully transparent Imagine looking at a png but you can actually see the transparency

[@lukabrasi001]

holy shit

[@ddnava96]

@@ImproveConditions What I meant is that transparent OLED panels have a flaw, and that is that they look like holograms and they can only add light to what you see. If you see a picture, everything black will just be see-through If you combine the OKED panel with an LCD panel, the LCD can block thevlight coming through it, allowing the user to see "perfect" images in the air. Let's say you have a picture in a webpage. You can make it so that the background of the webpage is completely see-through, the LCD reserves a rectangle over the area where the oicture is, effectively turning it black, then the OLED adds light and color data over that rectangle to have a perfect representation of that picture over a transparent background OLED could be used to add white text iver transparent background whereas LCD could be used to add black text over transparent background Of course the rendered image would need to have alpha data taken into account as it just wouldn't work with the same signal regular displays work with

[@Suggondease]

great idea, I think it could be possible to implement a backlight into the side of the frames so it can be used in the dark

[@poemontyperacer]

You could even add an opaque defusing layer so it lights up evenly, plus it'd block viewing from behind for privacy!

[@SpencerPaire]

Great build! I'd recommend getting some optical adhesive and binding the panel to a glass sheet to give it back some strength. DIY Perks talks about that stuff in his latest video, and it's awesome for rebuilding displays!

[@andersonrusnell3102]

Why it works if the pilarizer filter is removed? If I remove polarizer I cant see picture or it is barely visible. And with poralizer it is too dark. I was made transparent laptop many years ago but my eyes goes mad from it. Still focusing on things behind so i didnt use it. :D

[@dennisba85]

I don't understand either. Im pretty familiar with how LCDs work. Removing the front polarizer gives you an all white image, but you see the image with sunglasses. So this should not work at all

[@jeena256]

@@dennisba85 I tried it on old android mobile phone and it was little visible without polarizer but only if not original backlight was used but ambient light. Maybe he is using polarized light source. IDK :D

[@44Hd22]

5:48 Maybe you should add a stand attachment so it doesn’t fall of.

[@kryptosYT]

What I think you can do for the light source is making it like how high way signs are, take lights and line them up at the bottom so they shine on the screen from the bottom or you can also put them on the side as well, one strip on both sides pointing towards the screen

[@RazzRG]

Wait. How is it still displaying after you took off the first layer of polarizer? You need both sides for it to work. *confused sounds*

[@onepunchman4481]

You could also use the polarising layer for glasses to look at your privacy screen.

[@malhardeadshot6118]

a suggestion for the transparent display if u revisit it again or improve on. Use a Acrylic sheet 3 to 5mm thick, stick the display on that using clear glue probably glue used to specifically laminate the display sheets together, have the edges of the acrylic lit up by led strips so u have a sort of a back light of the display and it still remains transparent

[@cryptorial]

[@commanderwolf_gaming5191]

Transparent touch screen next (CSI)? Larger scale? Some comments already said use glass panels to give it more strength. Now what if that was done and put on a laptop but not a folding lid but the screen folded all the way flat and then slid inside the bottom of the laptop. Then a folding cover on out side to protect the keyboard and the folding out lip have a mouse pad in case you wanted a to use a mouse instead of track pad. ( i hate track pads ) With the leds around the edge if that would work.

[@mrnlce7939]

You should laminate it between either glass or plexiglass to help protect it. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@mikescholz6429]

try an acrylic panel on the back for structure and make it atleast usable but still letting in enough light and some led strips on the side for a backlight

[@noahcuroe]

Pro tip for future reference, use acetone for adhesives. Far stronger than isopropyl. Just buy any "natural" brand nail polish remover that's likely to have little to no additives. It cuts through adhesive like butter... and also can destroy some plastics and pigments so just be careful with it.

[@MARKD4WEE3]

Could it work better if it were installed in a base that has inset lighting, so instead of back-lighting, it could have a bright light source from the edges? I mean, would it enhance the contrast, or would it start to look like doodie?

These always look so damn cool but then I think about how I've never had a computer setup where I'd want to be able to see what's behind my monitor. It's all wires, dust, and a wall. Even if you do a setup in an open area, the potential reasons to be able to see through your monitor seem very limited, especially when the screen isn't very vivid anymore.

[@VaracolacidVesci]

[@superlavahair1536]

🤓☝ Erm, actually you need this thing called a "Lens" and another thing called a "Bulb" with a screen without a backlight. When the bulb is on, the picture gets projected through the lens and onto your projector screen. But it's upside down so you need to flip the screen upside down to fix that. Hope this helps!

Always liked these ever since I first saw a video of someone making their own years ago, but they never made any actual sense to have outside of windows for stores or niche things like computer case side panels or maybe for placing over the top of an existing mirror to get a "smart" mirror effect. The average computer user is either going to have this up against a plain wall, which kinda defeats the point of it being transparent, or will find it absolutely useless because of too much background distraction visible through it AND the lack of backlight to make the screen actually visibly useable. Some of the newer OLED versions being developed would be a better option seeing as those have self-illuminating LEDs, but again only viable really in VERY niche and limited markets and use cases.
