The Future of Mobile Technology is Clear

Prototype Switchable Glass phone
One of the most innovative new technologies that is currently in the development stages is the transparent phone. This new technology could revolutionize the display market.

 The engineers at Polytron technologies are currently developing a new cell phone called Switchable Glass. These phones have some awesome features!

 Here are some of the advantages for OLED:
  • Super thin (200 times smaller than the human hair)
  • Shatter and scratch prof
  • 25 % lighter and cheaper than the iphone 5
  • Both sides of the screen are touch screen.
Components of the OLED screens
As you can see, transparent technology definitely has some great things going for it. But, how does it stack up against its greatest competition: LCD screens?

Disadvantages for the OLED screens:
  • Screens do not last as long as a LCD
  • Manufacturing is currently expensive
  • Water can easily damage OLED screens
 With all of its features, Polytron is hoping that OLED tech will eventually make LCD screens obsolete. OLED is still in it's infancy, but the future of transparent screens is within reach.
