Was hoping to use this as a uv mask for circuit board fabrication, do you know if this is possible for larger displays and if so which model would you recommend?
It really depends on how they're built, some displays are much more difficult to remove the polarizers. I'll check with our engineering team and see if they know which larger ones may be easier to work with.
Our engineers, think you may get better mileage looking at the tech used for SLA printers and modifying a DLP projector. kt421.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/modifiying-a-dlp-projector-for-use-in-an-sla-printer/
OLED's are emissive so for them to be transparent they have to be constructed differently. However, we do carry a small transparent oled www.crystalfontz.com/product/cfal12856a00151b-128x56-transparent-oled-screen
I wonder if putting transparent LCD over keyboard keys backlighting would work for changing keyboard layout on the fly. Seems better than current e-ink based products
I have 4 questions. 1: does this work with every display 2: do you use a special polarizer? 3: does this display use color 4: do I see stuff on 5inch displays without a backlight It would be helpful to get an answer, since I want to use this in a costume and if I would need a backlight, I would need to build a custom one. Thanks in advance
1) Nope, monochrome LCDs only 2) Nope, standard polarizer 3) Nope, monochrome 4) Depends on the display type, not TFTs Feel free to reach out to support@crystalfontz.com
I'm not really sure how you could make that work... You'd need to connect the display to a breakout board, then provide power and something to drive it...
No, light-emitting displays operate differently since they don't rely on a backlight or reflection. We do have a small transparent OLED here www.crystalfontz.com/product/cfal12856a00151b-128x56-transparent-oled-screen that is available for purchasing.
Thank you! We're not aware of any that are transparent and flexible. LCDs in general always use glass for many reasons. The other options are OLED or ePaper, which we do have flexible versions of them, however they're not transparent. I'm curious what you'd like to see made with a flexible and transparent display?

Do you have any video on doing the same with an oled ssd1306 display??
Or, at least, the process could be the same 🤔

I wonder if this would work for eyes in a costume where you need to see through it. Not many great options I'm finding.
I think it could work for that, the visibility would be similar to sunglasses, so probably not ideal for wearing in the dark.

Alternatively you could use a small OLED display then you wouldn't need the backlight since they're emissive.

@@Crystalfontz OK can I send A detailed question there with project details (new to transparent displays)
@@YannisAtabay Sure, we'll do our best to answer your questions.
Can we use rubber strip in a digital watch to connect it for display in Casio f91w mod
I'm not really sure how you could make that work... You'd need to connect the display to a breakout board, then provide power and something to drive it...
i wonder if you can bend it. it would be cool to put lcd panel over car light and put some cool ornaments there
These specific displays are glass, so I don't think bending would be an option here.
Very Cool! Is it also easily possible to remove the polarizer on the front?
Best regards,
Johnny
If you remove the polorizer entirely, you won't be able to see what's being displayed on the screen.
@@Crystalfontz of course, i have some other polarizing optic already in the Experiment. Is it easily possible or not? Best regards!
yes, it's relatively easy to remove the polarizer
@@Crystalfontz cool,thanks! then I am going to order! I assume it is also some film polarizer?
it comes as a single working display, that you remove the poloarizer from and add one of your own, it does not come with additional polarizer.
Is it possibile to do the same with LED display?

Is there a lcd that doesn't need the glass so it's more flexible? Great video, BTW!

@Crystalfontz Ok, thanks! I was just thinking, I might want to put it on something that is a little curved.
Thank you for this video
You're welcome!
Thanks! Can we buy it with your work to turn it directly transparent? 😍 If yes, I will buy regularly several units... 🤗
Sorry, this is strictly a DIY project.
