LG has developed the world’s largest flexible, transparent display: it measures 77″ and offers a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, a transparency level of 40 percent, and a curvature radius of 80 millimeters. One potential application, as pictured, is a giant “smart desk,” which seems like a neat alternative to a traditional monitor setup. The company already had a 55″ version of the screen last year, so it seems like they are making speedy headway on producing bigger and bigger transparent screens.



…LG thinks the display has a future in digital signage, desks and in-car infotainment systems. Flexible screens could also be used in augmented reality applications and public spaces, such as aquariums and museums. For now, however, this enormous display is strictly a research project. Bendy panels have been used in smartphones and wearables before, but larger applications are still fairly uncommon. Price is likely the biggest issue – LG made this display, for instance, after beating Samsung to a government contract in 2012.
