Analyst Comment

LG Display has shown transparent OLEDs on glass substrates several times, although it said that it would take several years to come to market. The transparency is less than the level achieved by Samsung in its transparent OLEDs. That’s because LG is still using its RGBW structure, with a filter, which, of course, reduces the transmission, which Samsung did not use filters in its transparent OLED. (BR)
