Future TV will be glass like see through panel - A Transparent TV

TOLED DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY - TOLED is the TV of the Future

Future TV will have a see-through panel that vanishes when you turn it off.

A Loewe television using a TOLED screen, designed by Michael Friebe, was shortlisted in the 2011 iF Concept Design competition

The world of technology is a rapidly changing industry. We all know how incredibly difficult it is to keep up with all of the ever-evolving products. Well, get your wallets ready, because the television of the future could soon be upon us.

The new technology – branded as TOLED – is in a rough stage right now, but in just a few years could be available to the public. 

The technology for transparent screens - TOLED - actually exists, although producing panels of this size is not currently possible

The new type of TV in coming future will be a see-through panel that “vanishes” when you turn it off. It will run on transparent organic light-emitting device (TOLED) technology.

Earlier in 2011 at the 2011 iF Concept Design competition a Loewe television using a TOLED screen, was first designed by Michael Friebewas made known.

It is unsurprising that Loewe would be the first company to design a television of this variety, as they are no strangers to technological innovations. They were the first company to introduce an internet-connected television set in 1998, long before iTunes or YouTube even existed.

And it's on! The TOLED technology used in this concept actually exists, although producing it at this size would be impossible

Hopefully we will be able to see this new TV in our homes sooner rather than later, but I’m sure the price tag will be rather unforgiving at first. In any case, this is a clear example of where our world is headed next.

“As the first of its kind, the Loewe Invisio introduces technical innovation, combining conventional LCD and the latest TOLED display technology,”.This allows to create non-transparent/solid moving pictures with rich color reproduction and full contrast range from solid black to pristine white.”

To develop the technology German TV manufacturing company LOEWE has employed more than 120 engineers at the headquarters of the company in Kornach.

Loewe are pioneers in 'connected' TVs, having unveiled a web-TV set in 1998, before YouTube or iTunes existed

Loewe is represented in around 50 countries. Exclusive Loewe Galleries can be found in many major international cities including Madrid, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Copenhagen, Vienna, Moscow and Hong Kong. 

In 1998, the Loewe Xelos @media – the first television with Internet access – was launched.

In the same year, Loewe introduced the first flat-screen TV with the Loewe Spheros.

At the company headquarters in Kronach, the company employs around 1,000 people, no fewer than 120 of whom are engineers and technicians working in the development departments and labs.
