Xiaomi Now an OLED Manufacturer, Announces the 55" Mi TV LUX Transparent Edition
Xiaomi today unveiled what it considers to be the third defining piece of technology for its 10th anniversary - the 55" Mi TV LUX Transparent Edition. As the name implies, and as Xiaomi will pridefully tell you, this is the world's first fully edge-to-edge transparent OLED display - the images are displayed on its transparent screen and thus appear to be "floating in the air" - taking a cue from most science fiction settings. Xiaomi has also taken this opportunity to announce that they've become the first China-based company in the world to produce transparent OLED TVs, as well as China's number one OLED Basic Module (OBM) manufacturer.
The 55" Mi TV LUX Transparent Edition features a 10-bit, 120 Hz OLED panel in 4K resolution, with a static contrast ratio of 150,000:1 (dynamically, Xiaomi says it's infinite, as do other OLED manufacturers regarding that particular technology. The panel supports 93% of the DCI-P3 color spectrum. The transparency has been achieved by moving all hardware to the base of the television, in a way never before seen in this consumer category. A MediaTek 9650 custom-made TV chip is in charge of image processing, and is paired with Dolby Atmos for an all-encompassing experience in the visual and audio fields. The TV features an always-on feature, allowing users to use the set as an art showcase. The TV will be available starting from 10 am August 16th for RMB 49,999 (over 6000 USD/EUR).

Weird indeed, LG showed transparent OLEDs but were aimed at professionals.
n/O/t...
Like how do you get the color black radiate black light on a transparent surface?
I mean Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), you have light emitting Red, Green, Blue and sometimes White diodes in a matrix pattern.
LG and others have true black that means these diodes are turned off, no light emission.
Turning off diodes on a transparent surface gives you... transparency. :)
So basically this TV converts black into alpha transparency?
That would look terrible on anything except content made specially for this TV, like those seen in the images.
This is from wework but still, I know people who rent full time offices at wework. There are also many companies that are copying this right now. Kinda makes people want to work there
