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 unfazed 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.

Transparent OLED Displays are truly stunning in any environment, with many different industries opting to use them in different ways. One of the most popular uses is in retail, using the Transparent OLED as part of a POS or window display to create the effect that images are floating around the product on show.

They are also a great tool for use in museums, theme parks and visitor attractions, whether it’s to create a more layered, in-depth exhibitor to create a memorable sci-fi effect. Transparent OLEDs can also be used in nightclubs, salons, factories, health clubs, etc. as their versatility makes them useful for business ventures.

As standard Transparent OLED Screens are currently available in a 55” and 30″ 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 four 55″ OLED screens together to create an almost two and a half meter tall transparent video wall.

We can also make our Transparent OLED Displays interactive 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 LCDs need a backlight to produce an image, this is why Transparent LCDs 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 LCDs which are not see-through when switched off, simply displaying a black screen.
