LG transparent OLEDs used as subway train windows in china

LG Display has provided the world’s first transparent OLED displays for subway train windows in the Chinese cities of Beijing and Shenzhen.

The 55-inch transparent OLED displays installed in the Beijing (Line 6) and Shenzhen (Line 10) subways offer real-time information about subway schedules, locations, transfers, as well as flights and lifestyle information such as weather and news.

The panel maker says it plans to expand the supply of transparent OLEDs to major subway stations in cooperation with railroad companies and subway train glass manufacturers.

According to global consulting firm Prescient & Strategic Intelligence, the transparent display market is expected to grow at an average rate of 46 per cent annually and reach $4.93 billion by 2024.

“The application of transparent displays will become more diverse,” said Dr. Chang-ho Oh, Senior Vice President & Head of the TV Business Unit at LG Display. “LG Display aims to supply products to a wide range of industries in line with its vision as the leading display solution provider.”
