We have to ask the question in the title of which you can answer below. Optical component maker Active Inc who are based in Tokyo have developed a new composite LCD display screen that is see through, this means when you are watching a movie it allows you to see straight through the LCD display. Ok so this is a ground breaking achievement being able to see through the viewable screen buy WHY?
This company have been researching for sometime now the use of liquid crystal optical film in which they wanted to substitute for traditional LCD backlights, so when the LCD screen is powered you start a movie and you can see straight through, which is good if you want to watch TV whilst keeping an eye on the kids. To us would mean a constant distraction.

This technology looks promising if it can replace traditional backlighting of lcd’s with a natural light source, thereby reducing energy loads from the screen and creating an artificial viewing experience linked more directly to a natural context. People may not want to see through their tvs, but they may like to see their favorite tv shows, paintings, or documents lit by the sun…
If anyone has any more information about this technology, please share. I’m very interested.
