The Benefits of Transparent EL are Clear

What if you could see through a display? Well now you can with our Transparent and Segment Electroluminescent (EL) technology. We've been hiding this one in our labs for a while, but we are getting interest in it from companies that want a unique look for their application, everything from automobiles to consumer appliances.

Transparent EL has the rugged performance characteristics of our other EL displays but with the added benefit of being able to see through the glass material. You can also cut the display into curved shapes or have a mirrored view instead of a transparent one.
