In an innovative but very geeky endeavor, Sumasa, a writer at Japanese tech site PC Watch, successfully transformed a discarded $10 monitor into a transparent LCD screen, and detailed his progress, which included more than a few failures along the way.
Transparent displays have been around for quite some time and offer a sense of depth, which is why they are commonly seen at exhibitions (Sumasa says he first saw one at COMPUTEX TAIPEI in 2012). However, while popular with B2B firms, their application for individual use is still in its early stages.
