Face it, folks -- the days of windows being just windows are behind us. Before long, our panes will double as widget displays or makeshift televisions, and AIST has the prototype (http://www.engadget.com/tag/prototype/) to prove it. The demonstration seems to utilize technology that's far different than that seen in Samsung's iceTouch PMP (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsung-icetouch-hands-on-video/), but it's certainly no less exciting. According to DigInfo, AIST is developing florescent glass suitable for excitation by near-UV LEDs, and by combining this [borosilicate] glass with LEDs, it's possible to obtain transparent, flat light sources." Better still, we're told that the prevailing thought is that this here technology could be used to develop see-through displays as well as "light sources and displays that use solar cells without modification." Anxious to see what a transparent LCD could do for you? Hop on past the break, mash play and let your imagination run absolutely wild.Continue reading AIST shows off see-through display prototype on video (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/aist-shows-off-see-through-display-prototype-on-video/)
