Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have developed a new technology to create transparent displays.According to them,it has a number of advantages:wide viewing angles,ease of production,low cost and high scalability.
The new technology involves the use of nanoparticles,scattering only light of a certain wavelength.All other light rays pass through them freely,therefore the glass,which is built in such nanoparticles remains transparent.At the same time,it clearly shows a monochromatic image.
Capabilities of the technology,scientists demonstrated by projecting the image on a transparent blue screen facing the colored circles.All of them were clearly visible in the background.
Demo screen was created using silver particles with a diameter of about 60 nm each.While the image is monochrome,but maybe in the future and the creation of color displays.It's enough to be a combination of three colors-red,green and blue,and only in a very narrow range,and for the remaining glass shades will remain transparent.
New technology can serve as a projection,for example,advertising on store windows.Another application-creating HUD-displays for cars and airplanes.Information on them will be distinguishable from any angle.Nanoparticles can be integrated in a transparent plastic film,cheap to manufacture,and applied to car windows,as it is now-the tint.
