It’s a kind of computer display monitor which you can see through it when it’s working. It has several names, such as transparent screen, see through monitor and so on.
The transparent monitor is made by the transparent LCD screen. If you want to see through it when it’s working, there is an essential condition. That is the monitor needs to work with the bright white backlight. If there is not the backlight, the screen would be dark and you can see nothing from it.
The transparent monitor is widely used in many applications, such as vending machine, retail windows, LCD display box, video wall and many more. It has lots of custom parameters, such as the size, resolution, function and so on. Plenty of applications use such monitor with the touch screen.
The transparent monitor has many details that you need to pay attention to, for example the size, resolution, touch screen and so on. If you want to buy such product, what you need most is to find a professional supplier. The professional supplier can provide the prefect transparent monitors with the best quality and pretty price.
The size of commonly used transparent monitor can be from 10” to 110”. Full sizes of monitors can meet your any applications. There are some special monitors in the market, such as the stretched bar. It’s a kind of bar type monitor. If you need the bar type transparent monitor, such as 1/2 32”, please feel free to contact us first.
The resolution is also an important factor when you prepare to buy the transparent monitor. The commonly used resolution is 1920×1080( FHD ). However the resolution is always related to the screen size. For example, the commonly used resolution of 15” monitor is 1024 x 768, but the commonly used resolution of 15.4” monitor is 1920×1080.
Some clients told us that they needed some 24” transparent monitors to replace their common desktop computer monitors. Some other clients told us their applications need to use 17” transparent monitors and the users could see each other from both sides of the monitor screen.
The sizes of LCD monitors can be from 10” to 110”, so you have full freedom to select the right size of such transparent monitor for your application. However, as we mentioned at the beginning of the article, it need to work with the backlight system.
The backlight is the most confusing and easily overlooked point. Plenty of clients don’t know that transparent monitor needs the backlight. Many clients tell us that they need a 15 inch see through monitor to replace the monitor of their laptop. In fact, it’s impossible, unless it’s OLED screen. However, there isn’t 15” OLED screen which is transparent in the market.
The backlight is essential when the transparent monitor is working. If not, the whole monitor screen would be dark and you can see nothing. The backlight is placed in the back of the screen. It can be at the top or at the bottom. It can also be on 4 sides. The only condition is that it needs to be bright enough and the color temperature of the light should to be about 6000K (pure white).
Control board: it’s essential for the monitor. It’s used to connect the computer and drive the screen. It has many interfaces, such as HDMI, VGA ,DVI and others. The computer monitor is not the only function of transparent monitor. Use different control board, the functions would also different. For details, please read the chapter 8.
Enclosure : for most of the monitors, the enclosures are essential, especially for the big size monitors. They are used to hold the screens and protect them in the process of moving and using.
Touch screen: it’s optional. Many clients need the touch screen function, but others don’t need. The most commonly used touch screens are the capacitive touch screen and IR touch screen. For the details, please read the next chapter.
Glass: it’s used to protect the monitor screen. The glasses are installed on one surface or both surfaces of the screen. The monitor screen is very easy to be damaged, caused by the thickness is just 1.4mm. The commonly used glass is the tempered glass which the thickness is from 4mm to 6mm.
[av_heading heading=’Chapter 7: Touch screen’ tag=’h2′ link_apply=” link=’manually,http://’ link_target=” style=” size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ margin=” margin_sync=’true’ padding=’10’ color=” custom_font=” av-medium-font-size-title=” av-small-font-size-title=” av-mini-font-size-title=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” av_uid=’av-kmyag72w’ custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”][/av_heading]
Although the touch screen is optional, lots of transparent monitors are used with the touch screens. The monitor with touch screen is interactive. The customers can use their fingers to tell the machines what they want to do next. For the transparent monitor, there are two kinds of commonly used touch screens. They are capacitive touch screen and infrared touch screen.
The capacitive touch screen is transparent and frameless. The thickness is just about 2 mm. The IR touch screen has the frame, but the quality is more stable for large size and its price is better than the capacitive touch screen.
For small size transparent monitor, you can use either of them. For middle size monitor and large size monitor, the IR touch screen is more popular. We recommend to use the IR touch screen, because it’s strong and easy to be installed.

The control board is essential for the transparent monitor. According to the function, the controllers can be divided into two types. The first type is widely used in various computer monitors. Its function is very simple. It just can be connected to the computer and drive the screen to display the videos, pictures and others.
Fist of all, as we have mentioned at the beginning of the article, you need to provide the backlight for the transparent monitor. Usually, the clients buy the transparent monitors from us, then install them to their machines or equipments. Their machines can provide the backlight for the monitor.
This is a very interesting question. Plenty of clients think that they can see through the transparent monitor from both sides. However, it’s not the truth. You can just see through it from the front of the screen and it’s impossible from the back. This is one of the disadvantages of such product.
The display box is used to show the best products. The customers can see through the monitor to take a close look at the attractive products and read the detail introductions on screen. The box can just use a transparent monitor on one side, or two monitors which are back to back on two sides, or on all four sides.
Vending machine is one of the most popular applications. Plenty of clients buy the transparent monitors and the IR touch screens to make the doors of the machines. The clients can see the products through the door and select what they want to purchase.
The touch screen is very convenient for them to choose the drinks, foods and others. Vending machine is very common in our daily life. You can see them in the parks, super markets, hotels and other places.
The video wall is consisted of several pieces of transparent monitors. People can not only look at the exhibits, but also read the introductions of them.
Transparent Touch Screens combine our Transparent LCD Displays along with a Touch Screen Overlay to create a screen with a difference. Transparent touch screens bring two innovative technologies together to create a cutting edge display that is hard to ignore. At its heart, the Transparent LCD screen delivers HD or 4K images (depending on screen size) just like a standard digital signage display whereas the IR or PCAP touch overlay provides a seamless multi-touch experience.
If you’re looking for a compelling and engaging solution that goes beyond the traditional touch display, a transparent touch screen is the answer. The key difference being that the display provides transparency – white content appears transparent and black content appears opaque while the full range of colours in between have semi-transparent properties that can be used to great creative effect with the content you design.
Transparent Touch Screens are often integrated into POP and POS displays for retail applications or in custom display cases for Museum, Exhibitions and Events. Display case housings are not always required however, as we’ve seen our Transparent LCD Touch Screens installed for Nike, instead using a high brightness LED light panel to support the content on screen rendering any additional surround unnecessary. This offers the potential to create modern, minimalist touchscreens and interactive totems designed for the future of user experience.
Farnborough Airshow is the world’s premier commercial and military trade event. Ouno’s brief was to present GKN’s innovative technologies in a standout way that builds on the established trade show format. Pro Display supplied its 65-inch multi-touch transparent LCD screen to live event specialists Ouno Creative. The holographic-effect interactive display showcases the latest jet engine products from Ouno’s client, GKN Aerospace
As with all LCD displays, colour is displayed using Red, Green and Blue pixels which are combined to display the final colour on screen. White content is displayed using an LED backlight behind the LCD display however with Transparent LCD technology, the backlight is removed which results in white content appearing transparent.
Add to that our Infrared or PCAP touch technology to allow viewers or presenters to interact with your content, and the result is a transparent touch screen that will attract, engage and entertain your audience like no other display solution!
We also offer alternative transparent touch screen technology including our Clearview Rear Projection Interactive Touch Foils, a transparent rear projection foil with through glass touch capabilities and our Interactive Transparent OLED, a high end transparent touch display with no requirement for backlighting and stunning HD 1080p image reproduction. We also offer an interactive switchable glass projection screen where the glass can be switched from frosted to clear on demand, giving touch screen glass a whole new meaning!
Our Transparent Touch Screens use IR (infrared) touch technology as standard to create interactive transparent displays. Infrared technology utilises an invisible grid system of light across the screen and as the screen is touched the grid is broken, therefore registering the touch on the screen.
Our standard Transparent Touch Screen Solution is our Interactive Transparent LCD, which requires backlighting and housing, with options for 4K UHD image resolution.
We can also offer our 55″ Transparent OLED screen with multi touch capabilities, providing a HD 1080p image with no backlighting or housing necessary.
For projection applications, our Clearview Interactive Projection Touch Foil can be applied to windows to create interactive window displays using through glass touch. For a more versatile screen solution our Interactive Switchable Glass Screens provide a HD/4K image canvas when turned off and a holo effect image when switched to clear.
Choosing the right Transparent Touch Screen is influenced by the screen size, lighting conditions and how you would like to use the screen. If the screen will be used as a product reveal, then our Transparent LCD’s or Smart Glass Touch Screens could be the ideal solution while our Transparent OLED’s are a popular choice which don’t require housing or a backlight.
If you’re creating an interactive window, our Clearview Rear Projection Touch Screen Foil is ideal, allowing customers to interact with the display while still allowing visibility into the store.
Transparent Touch Screens are a great way to combine physical and digital displays without one distracting from the other. They enable in-depth, layered displays that are more likely to leave lasting impressions on your audience.
Yes, our Transparent OLED’s can be made interactive. Our Interactive TOLEDs use infrared technology to offer captivating multi-touch displays that are perfect for museums, live events, conferences and much more.

Transparent OLED Displays are a stunning new development in digital signage and display technology. These transparent display screens are used to communicate dynamic or interactive content via a transparent surface allowing viewers to see what is shown on the screen whilst still being able to see through the display. This solution allows designers creative ways to display content whilst curating a futuristic ‘Minority Report’ type effect.
OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode, a technology that eliminates the need for a backlight or enclosure. Standard Transparent LCD screens require backlighting to create a visible image, whereas Transparent OLED screens are made up of millions of pixels that each emit their own individual light. This opens up a whole new field of creativity in digital signage that even transparent LCD screens cannot offer. Unlike Transparent LCD screens, Transparent OLED screens display black content as transparent instead of white content. This puts a different spin on the merchandising process, offering new ways to communicate in an imaginative way with your audience.
Transparent OLED Screens are also available with Infrared or PCAP interactive touch overlays to create immersive touch screen displays. The benefits oftouch screen technologyare well documented, and when combined with Transparent OLED displays, you are sure to see customers interacting with content in ways you have not seen before.
Transparent OLED Displays are available in 55” screen sizes with Video Wall options available to create large format displays. Both options are also available as a Transparent Touch Screen providing multi-touch functionality.
Transparent OLED Displays are available in several options with or without touch or alternatively, as a Transparent OLEDVideo Wallwhere the displays can be joined to create a large-format screen, providing a stunning visual display with an impact! Get in touch with our sales team today for a quote.
No, Transparent OLEDs do not require a backlight, these screens are made up of millions of self-lit pixels that come together to create an image. This gives you greater control over the brightness and lighting of the screen depending on your environment.
Transparent OLED Screens are HD displays that despite being see-through in appearance when turned off and on, can produce an image that covers the whole screen offering a crisp resolution perfect for up-close viewing applications. These are commonly used for POS displays, demonstrations & exhibitions and in other hands-on environments.
Transparent LED Displays on the other hand are designed for large format displays, offering high brightness that is unphased by broad daylight, with the gaps between the LEDs providing transparency. These are usually used in larger window displays that are restricted for space or across large areas of glass facades in corporate buildings or offices, as they offer the power of a standard LED screen with the benefit of still being able to see through them.
As standard Transparent OLED Screens are currently only available in a 55” screen size, however, they can be joined together to create Transparent OLED Video Walls. Whilst these can be joined in any 2 x N format, the most popular solution is using 4 OLED screens together to create an almost two and a half meter tall transparent video wall.
We can also grant our Transparent OLED Displays interactivity by combining them with a touch frame, creating a holographic touch screen that can be used by multiple users at any one time. We also manufacture custom housings for our Transparent OLEDs which can be custom designed to suit your requirements, with options for custom branding and logos.
Transparent OLEDs are made up of pixels that emit their own light whereas Transparent LCD’s need a backlight to produce an image, this is why Transparent LCD’s require full housing solutions to create the best possible image. Another key difference is that when turned off, Transparent OLED screens remain transparent, unlike Transparent LCD’s which are not see-through when switched off, simply displaying a black screen.
Transparent LCD technology requires a separate backlight, usually achieved by building the screen into the front of an enclosed cabinet containing strong white LED lighting. The screen is around 15% transparent, so the lighting inside the cabinet needs to be around 6-7 times brighter than the light on the viewing side.
Retail windows, interactive booths, digital signage, events & exhibitions, display cases, interactive games, vending machines, drinks coolers… the uses for transparent touch screens are limited only by your creativity.
You interact with a touch screen monitor constantly throughout your daily life. You will see them in cell phones, ATM’s, kiosks, ticket vending machines, manufacturing plants and more. All of these use touch panels to enable the user to interact with a computer or device without the use of a keyboard or mouse. But did you know there are several uniquely different types of Touch Screens? The five most common types of touch screen are: 5-Wire Resistive, Surface Capacitive touch, Projected Capacitive (P-Cap), SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave), and IR (Infrared).
We are often asked “How does a touch screen monitor work?” A touch screen basically replaces the functionality of a keyboard and mouse. Below is a basic description of 5 types of touch screen monitor technology. The advantages and disadvantages of type of touch screen will help you decide which type touchscreen is most appropriate for your needs:
5-Wire Resistive Touch is the most widely touch technology in use today. A resistive touch screen monitor is composed of a glass panel and a film screen, each covered with a thin metallic layer, separated by a narrow gap. When a user touches the screen, the two metallic layers make contact, resulting in electrical flow. The point of contact is detected by this change in voltage.
Surface Capacitive touch screen is the second most popular type of touch screens on the market. In a surface capacitive touch screen monitor, a transparent electrode layer is placed on top of a glass panel. This is then covered by a protective cover. When an exposed finger touches the monitor screen, it reacts to the static electrical capacity of the human body. Some of the electrical charge transfers from the screen to the user. This decrease in capacitance is detected by sensors located at the four corners of the screen, allowing the controller to determine the touch point. Surface capacitive touch screens can only be activated by the touch of human skin or a stylus holding an electrical charge.
Projected Capacitive (P-Cap) is similar to Surface Capacitive, but it offers two primary advantages. First, in addition to a bare finger, it can also be activated with surgical gloves or thin cotton gloves. Secondly, P-Cap enables multi-touch activation (simultaneous input from two or more fingers). A projected capacitive touch screen is composed of a sheet of glass with embedded transparent electrode films and an IC chip. This creates a three dimensional electrostatic field. When a finger comes into contact with the screen, the ratios of the electrical currents change and the computer is able to detect the touch points. All our P-Cap touch screens feature a Zero-Bezel enclosure.
SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) touch screen monitors utilize a series of piezoelectric transducers and receivers. These are positioned along the sides of the monitor’s glass plate to create an invisible grid of ultrasonic waves on the surface. When the panel is touched, a portion of the wave is absorbed. This allows the receiving transducer to locate the touch point and send this data to the computer. SAW monitors can be activated by a finger, gloved hand, or soft-tip stylus. SAW monitors offer easy use and high visibility.
IR (Infrared) type touch screen monitors do not overlay the display with an additional screen or screen sandwich. Instead, infrared monitors use IR emitters and receivers to create an invisible grid of light beams across the screen. This ensures the best possible image quality. When an object interrupts the invisible infrared light beam, the sensors are able to locate the touch point. The X and Y coordinates are then sent to the controller.

Corning® Gorilla® Glass is optically bonded to the display using Planar® ERO-OLED (Extended Ruggedness and Optics™) technology to create a highly durable display and accommodate touch screen usage for interactive applications.
A see-through display or transparent display is an electronic display that allows the user to see what is shown on the screen while still being able to see through it. The main applications of this type of display are in head-up displays, augmented reality systems, digital signage, and general large-scale spatial light modulation. They should be distinguished from image-combination systems which achieve visually similar effects by optically combining multiple images in the field of view. Transparent displays embed the active matrix of the display in the field of view, which generally allows them to be more compact than combination-based systems.
The development of practical transparent displays accelerated rapidly around the end of first decade of the 21st century. An early commercial transparent display was the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness released in 2009, although it did not succeed in the market due to the screen not being visible outside or in brightly lit rooms.
LED screens to have two layers of glass on both sides of a set of addressable LEDs. Both inorganic and organic (OLED) LEDs have been used for this purpose. The more flexible (literally and figuratively) OLEDs have generated more interest for this application, though as of July 2016 the only commercial manufacturer Samsung announced that the product would be discontinued.LCDs in that OLEDs produce their own light, which produces a markedly different visual effect with a see-through display. The narrow gap between the pixels of the screen as well as the clear cathodes within allows the screens to be transparent. These types of the screen have been notoriously difficult and expensive to produce in the past, but are now becoming more common as the method of manufacturing them is advancing.
See-through screens are an emerging market that has several potential uses. Cell phones, tablets and other devices are starting to use this technology. It has an appealing appearance but more importantly it is also effective for augmented reality applications. The device can add its own twist to what is behind the screen. For example, if you look through a tablet with a see-through display at a street, the device could overlay the name of the street onto the screen. It could be similar to Google street view, except in real-time. For example, Google Translate has a feature that allows the user to point the camera at a sign or writing in another language and it automatically displays the same view, but with the writing in the language of your choosing. This could be possible with see-through displays as well.
A device using a transparent display will have much higher resolution and will display much more realistic augmented reality than video augmented reality, which takes video, adds its own supplement to it, and then displays that onto the screen.Microsoft HoloLens is an application of this idea.

REFERENCESPanel Mount Monitors and Open Frame Monitors: Customized Mounting SolutionsIndustrial monitors and displays vary from regular computers in many ways, mainly in their environmental characteristics. An industrial monitor is designed to withstand harsh working environments with a wide range operating temperature, dust and water resistance, shock absorption, and more. In many instances, industrial monitors are unable to be freestanding – perhaps space does not allow for that or it is too dangerous to leave a computer out into the open in certain environments. However, industrial monitors and displays, such as panel mount monitors or open frame monitors, come with many different mounting solutions that enables users to mount the monitor onto a flat surface, equipment panel, cabinets, or existing apertures. Acnodes industrial monitors supports various mounting options; wall mount, panel mount, open frame mount, VESA mount, for a wide range of industrial and commercial requirements. These mounting solutions are ideal for rugged outdoor applications, industrial applications, kiosks, cabinet displays, and custom-built machines.
Panel Mount Monitors - Mountable Industrial PCsPanel mounts are used primarily for process control and data acquisition and in some cases, are even used as a front end to another control computer in a distributed processing environment. Acnodes panel mount monitors provide an industrial LCD display panel integrated into a rugged metal open frame that is available with or without an aluminum front bezel. These high-quality industrial monitors offer full WUXGA HD resolution with up to 1000-nit brightness. There are also quad display monitors available, which are ideal for industrial automation control and CCTV monitor applications. Several of the panel mount and open frame monitor displays may also be used for outdoor sunlight applications.
Touch Screen Monitors - OverviewA touch screen acts as an interface between humans and computers in an automation control unit. Unlike keyboards or mice, touch screens provide convenience and user-friendly access to receive information from one computer to another. Touch screens work by detecting touch points according to physical relations and are divided into three types: Resistive type touch screen, Capacitive type touch screen, and Projected Capacitive type touch screen. A resistive type touch screen consists of a glass panel and film screen that functions when a finger or other stylus produces voltage by way of pressure sensors. A capacitive type touch screen comes with a transparent electrode layer that relies on the electrical properties of the human body to detect when and where on a display the user touches. Lastly, the projected capacitive type touch screen, which is similar to the capacitive type touch screen, is composed of a sheet of glass with embedded transparent electrode films and an IC chip that supports multi-touch.
You do not need to calibrate the image projector before lecturing; with LED lighting technology, IFPDs provide a clear image all the way; and thanks to the IR touchscreen, you can annotate your presentation with almost anything, a dry/wet finger, pen, or stylus.
Commonly, the overlay is a piece of protective glass hemmed in by the IR touch frame, in which Infrared LEDs and photodetectors are embedded. A kind of optical bezel will be inserted between the glass and the frame to fix the frame and transmit infrared light emitted by those LEDs.
Through the optical bezel, IR LEDs emit invisible infrared beams forming grids on the surface of the overlay, Photodetectors are installed across from the LEDs to detect interruptions of beams if touch events on the overlay happen.
As long as an opaque object touches the surface, it will blot out the light beams. Photoreceptors in both directions (vertical and horizontal) can detect this interruption by that object, finally localize the x and y coordinates, and then send the signal to the processor to respond with relevant action.
Better display – without other substance between the LCD and overlay, IR touch screens offer the best light transmission, so they can render more vivid images without color and brightness loss.
Supports multi-touch – with windows and android 9.0 double OS, it can support as many as 40 touchpoints simultaneously. That means it can support up to 4 students interacting together on an IFPD.
Short response time – commonly less than 8ms, IR touch screens localized touch events by detecting light interruption, so they are accurate and quick to respond with actions.
More flexible in customizing screen sizes – by adjusting the numbers of LEDs and photodetectors embedded in the overlay frame, you can fit any custom-made monitor with an infrared touch interface
Clear images – compared with many camera or projector-based systems, equipment with IR touch screens often adopts backlight LED. So, wherever lighting environment they perform in, they can provide clear images to the audience.
No loss of screen display– Since LEDs and sensors are designed to be fixed in the frame that is around the monitor, the screen can display an unrestricted view.
Write with any object – you can write on an IR touch screen with anything, a bare finger, a gloved finger, wet hands, or a pen, as long as it is not transparent.
No calibration – a traditional smart projector board may require regular calibration to display correct pictures, however, devices with IR touchscreen do not need to calibrate the IR LEDs and sensors to guarantee a normal function.
No pressure is required to write – Resistive touch screen technology perceives the writing track by pressure, which can damage the screen after a long time of usage, while IR touch screen technology by detecting light interruption, so you can write freely without having to push hard on the screen.
Of touch screen technologies, infrared and projected capacitive are the top two types that are mostly utilized. However, they are applied to different applications due to the differences between them.
For PCAP touch screens, There is a layer of transparent electrode film that is fixed between the LCD panel and the cover glass, when the human finger touches the screen, the current through that film changes, and the signal of x and y position will be transferred to the computer.
For IR touch screens, the equipment detects the finger’s position by detecting the block of invisible lights from the infrared LEDs that are embedded in the touchscreen frames.
So you will often see a bezel in the IR touchscreen, which is used to transfer the infrared light to the surface of the overlay, while the PCAP touchscreen does not require the bezels.
IR touchscreen can be activated by anything that is not transparent, whereas PCAP types only accept bare fingers, thin surgical gloves, or cotton gloves.
The electrode film in PCAP touchscreens is expensive, especially when it comes to large screens, but for IR ones, when it is applied to large-scale screens, you only need to add a few LEDs and correspondent detectors, apparently, the IR touchscreen solution is more cost-effective in large interactive displays, such as the interactive digital board, which are used for presentation in business meetings.
