Revealed before its time, a photo shows a laptop with a transparent screen from Lenovo. The manufacturer could present what appears to be a concept at MWC 2024 at the end of February.
Try to remember the science fiction films and series that you have viewed in the past, but not necessarily those that take place in the distant future. Even though they take place in 2042, chances are you’ve noticed something in common: the screens of smartphones, computers or other displays are transparent. For some unknown reason, it is often a mark of technological advancement completely democratized in the futuristic societies depicted.
In our reality of 2024, transparent screens are already a pretty old concept. In 2010, Samsung unveils a computer prototype whose you can see through the screen. Closer to us, LG presented an OLED TV of the same type, in addition to being wireless. This time it is Lenovo which is expected around the corner. Leaks dating from early February suggest that the manufacturer could present a Transparent laptop At MWC 2024the big mobile show.
This Lenovo laptop has a completely transparent screen
It’s the leaker Evan Blass who publishes a photo of the device on X (Twitter), the one that illustrates this article. We see two open laptops and above all, the one behind is completely visible through the screen of the first. The latter will surely be tactile given the presence of a stylus on the photo, while the PC keyboard seems exclusively tactile him too. As it stands, it is impossible to make the slightest guess about the configuration of the machine, except that it is running Windows 11 given the wallpaper.
Beyond technological prowess, it is legitimate to ask what is a transparent computer screen used for. Spontaneously, we think of privacy issues, so everyone can see what is displayed from the back of the device. And what aboutuse in bright or very low light conditions ? It could ultimately be that Lenovo models have no commercial aim, at least in the short and medium term. A bit like the rollable screens of 2023 which we haven’t heard about since.
