Lenovo Unveils Concept Laptop with 17.3 Transparent Screen that Can Switch Between Translucent and Opaque
- Lenovo unveiled a concept laptop with a 17.3" transparent MicroLED display that can switch between 55% transparency and being fully opaque
- The practical uses of a transparent laptop screen are still unclear, though Lenovo pitched ideas like architects sketching buildings without taking their eyes off the environment
- Resolution is currently limited to 720p, and there's no way to manually make the screen fully opaque yet
- The laptop has a flat, touch-sensitive keyboard that doubles as a drawing surface when detached
- This is just a concept device for now, but Lenovo hopes the public conversation will help identify killer use cases to work towards bringing it to market in the next 5 years
