Cool but I definitely don't see the purpose of a transparent screen. I use a screen to see what's on it, not what's behind it. I guess it could maybe make some cool signs or billboards

Once you can make it transparent, you can then layer it for actual 3D

My first thought was just for marketing purposes, but I like your idea more

Oh damn I didn't think of that, that could be pretty cool. Thin enough and you could make a hologram!

Advertising. It's for ads.

It drives me insane when science fiction movies and shows use transparent screens and phones, because like… that’s just a worse product for no reason? Why would you want a transparent phone?

My other pet peeve is holograms that are worse than just like… looking at a screen, or using a projector for a large room of people. Holograms could be cool for certain visualizations, but like… Maybe record a normal video instead of a blurry and pixelated hologram?

Transparent screens are already in use for gimmickly slot machines in casinos
