LookThru™ OLED Transparent Display at ISE 2016. This
transparent OLED utilizes cutting-edge Organic Light Emitting Diode
(OLED) technology to eliminate the need for a backlight or

hurdles to transparent LCD display adoption by making it possible
to create truly see-through installations unobstructed by
enclosures that sit behind the displays.
