On the eve of the CES 2024 fair, Samsung introduced the world’s first transparent micro LED TV series. These TVs feature a transparent panel that allows viewers to see through the screen, blurring the line between content and reality for an immersive viewing experience. The TV is available in different sizes: 76 inches, 89 inches, 101 inches and 114 inches.

Features of Samsung MicroLED TVs:

The transparency of these MicroLED TVs is achieved through precision manufacturing processes that print Micro LED chips onto a piece of glass, eliminating seams and bends and giving the panel the appearance of glass.

In terms of design, the TVs are incredibly thin, measuring around one centimeter thick, which reinforces the illusion of a floating screen. Additionally, the high pixel density of micro LEDs ensures that the displayed images are exceptionally sharp and clear.

If you’re not sure what MicroLED is, it’s a display technology that uses millions of tiny LEDs to create an image. Each LED is self-illuminating, meaning it doesn’t need a backlight like traditional LCD or OLED displays. This provides excellent image quality with deeper blacks, brighter whites and wider viewing angles.

Samsung micro LED panels are not only transparent but also modular. This design allows users to create TVs of any aspect ratio, shape or size by combining multiple modules. This flexibility makes it ideal for applications such as giant scoreboards in homes and stadiums, as well as innovative advertising in commercial applications.

One of the key advantages of Samsung’s transparent MicroLED displays over transparent OLED panels is their higher brightness, meaning they are less affected by ambient light. This feature is critical to maintaining the clarity and visibility of content displayed on the screen, regardless of lighting conditions.

But it’s important to note that Samsung’s opaque MicroLED TVs currently cost $150,000 for the 110-inch model. This suggests that new transparent micro-LED displays may have a high price, at least initially, making them a premium product that may not be immediately accessible to the average consumer.
