ANN ARBOR, MI
The TRINA Electronics Research Department, in collaboration with BoE Display Technology and Kent State University, has unveiled a pioneering advancement in display technology through their latest publication in Nature Communications. This innovative research redefines how we interact with virtual and real environments by utilizing a transparent display capable of displaying visual information to observers on both sides of the screen. The editors of the journal featured the article under the “Editors Highlights” webpage, where the editors showcase the 50 best papers published in an area.
This new dual-sided display system employs polymer-stabilized liquid crystal waveguide technology, achieving a 65% transparency window while maintaining active-matrix control. The design enables users to perceive both the physical and virtual worlds simultaneously, opening new possibilities in augmented reality without the need for wearable devices or personal screens.
The prototype developed for this study features full-color information through a time-sequential red-green-blue light-emitting diode (LED) strip. This approach provides a vivid visual experience and supports enhanced, bi-directional user interactions, positioning the technology as a powerful medium for future human-centered and service-related experiences.
