Samsung 22inch Transparent Showcase Panel eyeson

What’s the future of advertising? If Samsung has any say so, it’s going to be transparent showcase displays. Here at IFA 2012, the company demoed one such 22-inch, fishbowl-like case outfitted with a see-through front panel capable of transmitting video imagery, in addition to hosting a physical product within. The glass enclosure’s no mere dummy unit, as it’s also outfitted with speakers, a built-in PC, LED strip and offers the option to include a touch screen. To highlight just what this kit’s capable of, a looped Gucci ad played on its front screen, transitioning from near solid to completely transparent. It’s really something that needs to be seen IRL, but take a tour of the gallery below to get a glimpse of what’s to come.

Samsung Electronics introduces LED square display and transparent display

Posted in: Today's Chili

Just what are Samsung Electronics up to these days? I know that their parent arm, Samsung Electronics, must still be mulling over the fine which they were slapped with concerning their legal battle with Apple that concluded recently. Well, just to take your minds off things for the moment would be Samsung Electronics’ latest introduction of an LED square display as well as a transparent display, and I think personally, I am far more interested in the latter than the former as it has a more science fiction feel to it.

Well, the recent announcement at IFA 2012 in Berlin will showcase the availability of innovative 1:1 ratio LED square display (UD22B) and transparent display (NL22B), further accelerating the South Korean company’s leadership in the commercial B2B display market for the second half of 2012. Let us take a closer look at the distinctive 1:1 ratio square display from Samsung in the first place right after the jump, shall we?

For starters, it is touted to support unlimited configurations while opening up new potential for creating immersive visual experiences. Sporting a 5.5 mm bezel-to-bezel measurement that delivers seamless installation as well as digital loop out in order to produce a single image across up to 100 displays, Samsung’s 21.6” square display enables commercial users to explore limitless possibilities – whether they are involved in designing artistic video walls or otherwise.

As for Samsung’s maiden attempt at commercializing their first ever All-in-One transparent display, this 22” piece of modern consumer electronics which goes by the model number of NL22B is a radically new kind of product, where it is available as an all-in-one showcase which will be able to launch a new era of possibilities in digital retail design. Sporting a thin LCD panel on the front of the transparent display, it enables images and animations to dynamically interact with the merchandise within the showcase, all the while allowing passers-by to view the product without missing a beat.

All three of the remaining sides are made of protective tempered glass which are enclosed by a sleek metallic frame, delivering a rather uppity appearance for the NL22B.

Samsung enters advertising market with small-bezel and transparent displays

Samsung builds businessonly transparent and bezelfree screens

Mad Men marathons aside, it’s rare that we dream of a career in advertising, but Samsung’s latest pair of commercial displays have turned our head. The Korean giant has developed a 21.6-inch, 1:1 ratio (“square” to us normals) display with a 5.5mm bezel that can be used to develop video walls, installations or 3D sculptures. It’s reportedly far more environmentally friendly than whacking a TV on your showroom wall, drawing 30 percent less power and auto-adjusting its own brightness depending on the ambient light.

It’s also unveiling the NL22B, a transparent LCD screen / case that builds on the see-through tech we saw at CES. The interactive display is designed to let you see facts and figures while keeping one eye on the merchandise at all times. It’s imagined to be used in high-class jewelers, using interactivity to tease us toward buying that $4,000 watch. Both are being shown at IFA this week, but don’t expect to see them available to buy — so stash those dreams of covering every wall in house with these things, at least until you own your own advertising firm.
