Introduction
NanoMarkets believes that the transparent display market will dramatically expand. Smart glasses such as augmented reality and Google Glass applications have focused attention on displays that can simultaneously display information and function as windows on the real world.
Display firms have started responding to these major trends with new types of transparent displays. They had to invent technologies in order to do so. Transparent TFTs are very challenging with ZnO being a very likely material solution even though other options are possible. Another issue is hiding backlighting in transparent LCDs, creating opportunities for transparent OLED displays.
Transparent Display Markets
NanoMarkets identifies in this report where the revenues will be generated by transparent displays over the next eight years. Further to leading edge applications such as AR and smart glasses, this report also considers near-term applications for transparent displays in more routine applications such as retail and automotive.
This report has been developed to be a guide on how transparent displays will be commercialized and offers both a roadmap to the evolution of the transparent display market and an assessment of the transparent display technology. The report discusses the product or market strategies of transparent display makers and also provides granular eight-year forecasts of the transparent display market.
Conclusion
The report covers the need for transparent displays, key opportunities for technology providers, opportunities for materials firms, system integrators and value-added resellers in the transparent display market. It also details the six companies to watch out for in the transparent display sector and summary of eight year forecasts of transparent displays.
