New Xiaomi Mi LUX TV is the first transparent mass-produced television in the world, and today our company explains the process that followed to achieve it.
Πhow can one make a TV transparent? Xiaomi today gave us in detail the whole process that followed, and the first step is obvious - move what is behind the screen and place it somewhere else.
All electronic components and audio system have been moved to the round base on the bottom of the TV. This forced all the TV components to be placed in a more limited space than usual, so Xiaomi had to pay special attention when designing the cooling to avoid the problems of overheating. So the chipset has a large heatsink and the whole base is scattered with air ducts to help air flow and cooling.
The screens LCD and OLED can be made transparent. However, Xiaomi chose OLED, as it does not need backlighting, while a transparent TV with LCD screen would need some external light source to deliver the image. But even an OLED screen is of course not completely transparent.
The uterus RGBW The screen has a unique design, where only half of the total screen area is covered with active pixels, while the other half remains transparent just like a glass. The pixels (pixel) of the screen are small enough that you can not see them at normal viewing distance, but the gaps between them are just as tiny, so you can not see them either, and they all merge into a seemingly normal sheet of glass.
The image below compares a traditional OLED display with that used on a LUX TV (on the right of the image). As you can see the sub-pixels are placed on the right, and the area on the left remains transparent.
To protect the panel, a piece of 55 γυαλ glass is added to the screen using an adhesive that can be cured with ultraviolet radiation. A thin metal frame (Bezel) is then placed around the perimeter of the glass to give it the necessary rigidity.
Following the release of Transparent TV, the Xiaomi now focuses on placing them Selfie cameras of Smartphones behind the screen (Under Display), but the quality of the photos so far is far from desirable, and making transparent screens for Smartphones is not an easy task.
Our Xiaomi explained in previous reports, that the high pixel density on Smartphone screens is a serious problem for Under Display Selfie cameras. It would be interesting to see if the experience gained from designing a transparent TV will help the company solve this problem.
