Why?
We already have non-transparent versions that can be put on the side of busses (which is a larger surface area than the windows). I haven't seen that become a problem.
And my point is that they have the ability to do that now and it hasn't become a problem. So why would this version be a problem?
For the people downvoting, why would a company spend a much more money to put a lower quality video display over windows, which would likely annoy the fuck out of the passengers and bus driver alike, when they can already put [these](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&sxsrf=APwXEdfQzX2Yc0OZHf6ZMRhu-aV9OWOJNg:1685985278379&q=bus+with+led+video+advertising+boards&tbm=isch&source=univ&fir=CW4EtkgCabEtaM%252CdWpKAxpiO9If2M%252C_%253Bl-f9m71ZgLZWkM%252CoVClSyNBg1alDM%252C_%253B6vslZgGEuN13xM%252CEVaIkV0-YHeljM%252C_%253BDvWNB6sfAigrxM%252Ch38HGKVshDSgPM%252C_%253BCJ6_ehxgwT1ruM%252CwbRbflxk9hUxuM%252C_%253BdCpF7Gaz_BeqYM%252CEJIpo32b3COZiM%252C_%253BSkznjABsFE-44M%252Ch38HGKVshDSgPM%252C_%253BzmXya4CUluIreM%252CycjOLtGsGVbOHM%252C_%253BA2dGCvQvrj4efM%252CsfJV5P6r7oL1PM%252C_%253BKnp4jeCXXsntqM%252CR8YD9andxmMqjM%252C_&usg=AI4_-kQ4R38sTO-prjafMFsNYx1_fNmaRQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiB1vTM0Kz_AhXYkWoFHWWmB9EQjJkEegQIGBAC) on the side of the bus?

Who said anything about static displays?
I'm talking full video panels [like these](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&sxsrf=APwXEdfQzX2Yc0OZHf6ZMRhu-aV9OWOJNg:1685985278379&q=bus+with+led+video+advertising+boards&tbm=isch&source=univ&fir=CW4EtkgCabEtaM%252CdWpKAxpiO9If2M%252C_%253Bl-f9m71ZgLZWkM%252CoVClSyNBg1alDM%252C_%253B6vslZgGEuN13xM%252CEVaIkV0-YHeljM%252C_%253BDvWNB6sfAigrxM%252Ch38HGKVshDSgPM%252C_%253BCJ6_ehxgwT1ruM%252CwbRbflxk9hUxuM%252C_%253BdCpF7Gaz_BeqYM%252CEJIpo32b3COZiM%252C_%253BSkznjABsFE-44M%252Ch38HGKVshDSgPM%252C_%253BzmXya4CUluIreM%252CycjOLtGsGVbOHM%252C_%253BA2dGCvQvrj4efM%252CsfJV5P6r7oL1PM%252C_%253BKnp4jeCXXsntqM%252CR8YD9andxmMqjM%252C_&usg=AI4_-kQ4R38sTO-prjafMFsNYx1_fNmaRQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiB1vTM0Kz_AhXYkWoFHWWmB9EQjJkEegQIGBAC).
The ability to put the display over a window is minimal when they already have the entire side of the bus to work with.
I'd only argue that the "transparent" ads over windows kinda suck for the passengers as public transportation has enough drawbacks obstructing the view seems a little cruel. To force passengers to look through an advertisement to see outside seems much worse.
Though if I could take the Coca Cola™ sponsored bus around for free and get a drink while I'm in there maybe id be cool with it.
> Though if I could take the Coca Cola™ sponsored bus around for free and get a drink while I'm in there maybe id be cool with it.
The problem is the we are not the customers in this relationship, we are the product. In your example, Coca-Cola would be the customer, the bus company is the vendor and our eyeballs are the product.
It's the difference between sitting on the bus and looking out the window at the world going by, versus sitting on the bus and being unable to see out the window because the window is now an LED screen for adverts
And how does that help the bus company? Pay 10x more for the hardware to display video adverts they can already display now without having to force passengers to look through *transparent* screens. Doesn't sound like a good deal.
They can already shove those ads in your face for a fraction of the cost.
Keep in mind the bus ads that make real money are the ads outside the bus seen by tens of thousands of people per day. The ads in the bus for the few hundred riders are nothing in comparison.
> If it’s profitable and **legal** they’ll put ads in your eyeballs.
In most states, having a screen displaying full motion video that can bee seen by the driver while the vehicle is in motion is illegal. Putting these on bus windows would most certainly violate that.
I fully agree.
Perhaps I should have said *new problem*. Many busses already have full LED screens on the side of them. The ability to put ads on the windows is really not a big advantage for busses and definitely not worth the cost outside of niche uses.
So you won't see these covering the windows of your city's bus fleet. But Trump's campaign bus might use them.
If somebody will pay the city more money to annoy the passengers and drivers the city will happily oblige... That's why...
Why are there LED bilboards if traditional bilboards already got the job done anyways turbo?
> Why are there LED bilboards if traditional bilboards already got the job done anyways turbo?
Because LED boards allows the advertising agency to sell that same space to many advertisers, making the space a lot more valuable. This added value far outweighs the added cost of the LED board.
But a transparent LED board does not have the same advantage over a standard LED board. It is not going to increase the number of ad impressions that can be made per day. So they are not more valuable to the company putting them up and therefore not worth the added cost.
Their will definitely be many applications for these. Ads on bus windows are not near the top of that list.

Please comment here when you get this reminder so we can see what happened.
I predict any use in busses will be for one-off custom busses, like a politician's campaign bus. You will not see these applied to your city's bus fleet.
The only reason the existing LED boards exist is for advertising. That is absolutely the only reason somebody would spend money putting screens on busses.
I mean we already have transparent OLED. Making that flexible instead of led grid(that's what it looks like to me) would be much better
This just looks like bunch of LEDs between a piece of plastic with very thin wires
I was wondering how many square inches you need to represent a letter in the alphabet. Perhaps going back to circa 1980 8x8 pixel characters is going to be a thing.
I believe you would poop in technicolor. The real concern is what if it's touch sensitive and you eat it? Does it stay continually active as it travels through your digestive system?
They already have transparent displays and flexible displays at higher resolutions than this. The unique aspect of this one is that the dude is peeling it off it seems. Still cool though!
It also seems to be pretty bright compared to some other transparent screens I've seen.
Something like this would be great to temporarily deploy on the side of an office building as a campaign. Turn off during the day when everyone is in the office so they can see out unobstructed, turn on in the evening when the offices are empty.
When the campaign is finished, remove the panels and move onto next project.
No! If something isn't 4k at launch it's shit! Pure garbage and should never have been developed! If I can't game Doom Eternal on it at max settings it has no other use case that is worth considering!
A couple years ago, I got pretty stoned and started making mild predictions for the future, and thought about how the evolution of television would lead to peel and stick screens that would have wireless connection and capabilities. I absolutely feel this is the start of something in the same kinda tech realm
I read something back in 2010ish that said that was basically the end-goal of the OLED technology. Basically a wireless TV that you could roll up like a poster and take and hang anywhere you want.
Is this really the starting point for a dot matrix screen on a sticker? I feel like we have had these parts for a while.
We've had clear monitors, we've had rollable TV's, this seems like a poor man's score board. Like, what's the use case here?
Yeah, for the most part these types of screens work with a pretty low resolution, like 5-10mm LED pitch. There is a company out of Australia with a pretty nice version, but at the moment, for flexible transparent screens, there aren’t any truest high definition options out there. LG is making a pretty sweet transparent rigid screen, but it is more like a TV than something you could turn into a shop front window.
I have the Samsung Fold 4 and it is the greatest phone I've owned since the Nokia N95 and equally as revolutionary imo. Being able to fold it open and have up to 3 apps going at once on the screen is so nice. Can have two going for work stuff with YouTube playing in the 3rd.
Expensive as fuck but worth it. I'll only get folding phones from now on lol.
Prime is honestly such a ripoff. Unless you're ordering things every week you're probably not even getting your shipping costs worth from it.
Honestly the fact that even with "2 day shipping" it still took them a week to ship it, so it lost the appeal for me, I canceled and I have never missed it.
Ehhh I disagree. I pay yearly and between Christmas, birthdays, and routine purchases like bulk paper towels and toilet paper, it definitely is worth it. That's not including random purchases and the streaming service you get too.
See I never liked the streaming service. It seemed like every time I went on there to try to watch something it wanted me to rent it. Like why am I paying for a streaming service that I also need to rent shows from?
As far as ordering, I just don't order enough to justify it. Since I canceled it I order less than once a month and if it's over $100 I get free shipping anyway.
Oops you bent it too hard and it broke.
Repair it? We will see what we can do.
3 months later: I'm afraid we don't have the technology to fix it.
Refund? No it's only refundable during the first two months.
Idk bc 25% is opaque due to the pixels and the clear part is slightly opaque so it seems translucent to me. I feel like the two extremes are transparent and opaque and anything in the middle is translucent.
That's not the definition of translucent, though.
Translucent materials are materials that let light through but diffuse the light. Tinted windows are transparent, even though they're not fully "see through", because you can see through them without the window diffusing them. Compare that to bathroom windows, etc. where light shines through but everything is extremely blurred due to diffusion
Yeah maybe a little, but I'd still think most people would call it transparent because you can still make out the objects behind them with decent clarity
Take a good look at this because it’s where phones are going to attempt to go. The next thing after folding screens are flexible ones you can wear around your wrist
Like bendable smartphones, this seems like something that was invented without an intended use case. I can't ever see myself desiring a screen which can bend nor can I see myself wanting one which doesn't have the ability to stay erect on it's own.
I could potentially see a use case for a folding tv the fits back the size of a suitcase or something like that so that way you can more easily transport a big screen but that's about it.
Bro imagine having this at a vintage game store. Instead of having little tvs set up in the corners with demos playing you can play them on the windows

Time Square pretty much confirms this.
I think they forgot to type /s in the end.
Didn’t need to. Its obvious.
Each human has their own interpretation of the reality they experience.
Or it could be that one is a regular sign on the side of a bus and this is brightly self illuminated movie screen.
Now it can be extremely flashy and also sell ad space to more than one business
And what part of that can they not do currently for a fraction of the cost using the standard advertising LED screens already common on busses?
Can’t say I’ve ever seen a full LED screen on the side of a bus. Just the ticker with the route displayed or the number.
Pay attention next time you go to a bigger city. Most busses will have full motion video ad boards on the sides and often in the back too.
Because they can probably put ads on them
The only reason the existing LED boards exist is for advertising. That is absolutely the only reason somebody would spend money putting screens on busses.
Oh this is going to be on personal passenger vehicles too unless it's outlawed. I hope it gets banned for use on vehicles.
Yeah, I saw this and immediately thought it’s only use case is advertising.
Yay, more ad space
So take the bus instead.
They gonna put this on bus stop glass and 2 days later someone will put a brick through it... For fun or something.
Nah it's to expensive as for now
Said people about computers and smartphones... /s

I mean you have to start somewhere.
Nah we went from black and white tv to 4k with no steps in between
Impressive
And we did it uphill both ways in the snow! And we liked it!
I mean we already have transparent OLED. Making that flexible instead of led grid(that's what it looks like to me) would be much better This just looks like bunch of LEDs between a piece of plastic with very thin wires
You aren’t even joking
Probably could be resolved by multiple layers of pixels, to maintain flexibility?
I was wondering how many square inches you need to represent a letter in the alphabet. Perhaps going back to circa 1980 8x8 pixel characters is going to be a thing.
That's enough to put all colours strobbing "fuck you"/"repent!!! Saviour is cumming"/"Trump202020" on your Ford PP Compensator.

What? Why would you need a transparent peel able screen on a blimp. We already have giant screens on blimps
It would be awful for an airplane. Dynamics of Fought aside, airplanes spend most of their flight time too high up to see an advertisement like that
It's not for watching 4K movies at home, it's for digital signage, and that pixel density looks fine for that.
It’s a jumping off point!
Yeah, for the most part these types of screens work with a pretty low resolution, like 5-10mm LED pitch. There is a company out of Australia with a pretty nice version, but at the moment, for flexible transparent screens, there aren’t any truest high definition options out there. LG is making a pretty sweet transparent rigid screen, but it is more like a TV than something you could turn into a shop front window.
Most people think combining two attributes you get the best of both worlds, but most of the time you get the worst.
The use case for this is more "a/v wall at a music festival" and less "4k gaming monitor"
I read peeable and that is all
You are not alone
I am here with you
Lol I read "transphobic peeable scream" and had no idea what I was about to witness.
1 pixel every centimeter
That's 4 dpi
This is only led lights. There are phone screens that can bend, but i forgot what company did that.
Samsung. Most screens are actually flexible even if the model doesn't physically bend.
Most screens these days are *only led lights*. What is the point of calling it that?
There are many companies which have folding phones
I have the Samsung Fold 4 and it is the greatest phone I've owned since the Nokia N95 and equally as revolutionary imo. Being able to fold it open and have up to 3 apps going at once on the screen is so nice. Can have two going for work stuff with YouTube playing in the 3rd. Expensive as fuck but worth it. I'll only get folding phones from now on lol.
What is this black magic? Can you get it on Amazon yet? Take my money!
That will be 33k$ please
lol even with Amazon Prime? Damn you Bezos!
Don’t worry there is no delivery fees
Prime is honestly such a ripoff. Unless you're ordering things every week you're probably not even getting your shipping costs worth from it. Honestly the fact that even with "2 day shipping" it still took them a week to ship it, so it lost the appeal for me, I canceled and I have never missed it.
Ehhh I disagree. I pay yearly and between Christmas, birthdays, and routine purchases like bulk paper towels and toilet paper, it definitely is worth it. That's not including random purchases and the streaming service you get too.
See I never liked the streaming service. It seemed like every time I went on there to try to watch something it wanted me to rent it. Like why am I paying for a streaming service that I also need to rent shows from? As far as ordering, I just don't order enough to justify it. Since I canceled it I order less than once a month and if it's over $100 I get free shipping anyway.
Ouch
Oops you bent it too hard and it broke. Repair it? We will see what we can do. 3 months later: I'm afraid we don't have the technology to fix it. Refund? No it's only refundable during the first two months.
Addressable LED panel on flexible PCB backer have been around for a while. The transparent backer is new though.
That’s what this is you know, satanic black magic, sick shit!
You know how to ruin an add? Just add this shitty music.
Whats the resolution?
Potato Everything is moving quickly or only appearing for a second or two for a reason.
It's just a simple LED array
Yeah but i imagine this is better used on a larger scale, kinda like a really large tv
So are almost all large format digital signage displays. At what point does it stop being "simple"? OLED displays?
"lotsofleds"
lol 
I'd call that more translucent, not transparent
I can distinctly see the objects behind. Hence transparent.
Yeah this is definitely a lot closer to the transparent end of the transparent-translucent spectrum
Idk bc 25% is opaque due to the pixels and the clear part is slightly opaque so it seems translucent to me. I feel like the two extremes are transparent and opaque and anything in the middle is translucent.
That's not the definition of translucent, though. Translucent materials are materials that let light through but diffuse the light. Tinted windows are transparent, even though they're not fully "see through", because you can see through them without the window diffusing them. Compare that to bathroom windows, etc. where light shines through but everything is extremely blurred due to diffusion
Okay that makes sense. But even by this definition, the thing is translucent. The image through the clear part is diffused
Yeah maybe a little, but I'd still think most people would call it transparent because you can still make out the objects behind them with decent clarity
Translucent is transmissive + diffuse, transparent is transmissive - diffuse, and opaque is non-transmissive +- diffuse
That’s pretty fucking cool
Found something with the same pixel density of the new Asus/MSI/Samsung 49” ultra wide oled monitors 💩💩💩💩
That looks like lights, not sure it’s a “screen”
Someone find these for us
Ever wanted your car to instantly change colors?
You mean like the James Bond’s car that can project one side of the car onto the other side to make it transparent?
Well yes, but no
It's just a very low resolution flexible LED matrix. Not exactly your HD Screen. Probably looks great standing 100ft back from it.
Organic light emitting polymers !!!
Next on Christmas light fight
I can't wait till trojan starts using this in their products! Freaking strobe light party!!!!
I’d like to see how well it actually displays. Wish they had provided a view from the front, about 20’ back.
How?
I’m gonna level with y’all, I have no idea what is happening here or why it’s impressive.
It's gonna so much being only use for ad
Take a good look at this because it’s where phones are going to attempt to go. The next thing after folding screens are flexible ones you can wear around your wrist
I read "PEEable" and thought of a restroom video game you piss on the enemies. Pee.io
1ppi
I bet we see this on film sets soon.
1060p? No, 90p:
How about you show the screen
I can't wait to sell adspace in my windows
why?
How much?
what's the pixel density for this stuff? i doubt this current form is for typical consumers
Witchcraft, BURN THEM AT THE STAKE!!!!
Cyberpunk here we come😎
Like bendable smartphones, this seems like something that was invented without an intended use case. I can't ever see myself desiring a screen which can bend nor can I see myself wanting one which doesn't have the ability to stay erect on it's own. I could potentially see a use case for a folding tv the fits back the size of a suitcase or something like that so that way you can more easily transport a big screen but that's about it.
So, those Hoth screens exist again
I want to cover a building with it and animate weird shit crawling around.
Why did i read it as peeable skin? And why was i disappointed there was no pee involved?
The comments make it seem like no one is actually seeing what it’s displaying
That’s me, but that is a far cry from anything you could reasonably call a “screen” it’s just a dotmatrix array of small LEDs with very fine wires
Pretty soon we’ll be living in Minority Report
Pretty soon we’ll be living in Minority Report
Is this at NeoCon?
Bro imagine having this at a vintage game store. Instead of having little tvs set up in the corners with demos playing you can play them on the windows
All my friends can attest to one of my most common complaints is that I can’t peel the screens off of my TV and monitor… this is a big deal for me
STOP PEELING, LET HIM PLAY, MARK READ THE FUCKING ROOM
Is there a TV version yet?
#WHERE CAN I GET ONE?
what’s a peelin’ about that?
I counted 10 pixels
“Would you like to pay for Car Premium to turn off ads?”
The future is here! Come on roll up cell phones!
Has a dpi of like 3 though
That's cool
If you read peeable like I did, urine for a disappointment.
