Why have we included LCDs as a transparent display when, at first glance, they’re not truly transparent? In fact, we’re only able to see the information on our monitors, such as laptops, with the introduction of a backlight and a reflector shield.

LCDs are also one of the most popular screens on the market and this rise occurred early in the 21st century when liquid-crystal-display sets rocketed in popularity. In 2007, LCDs eclipsed sales of competing technologies like plasma, cathode ray tube, and rear-projection TVs.

Transparent displays include any electronic screen which can show information on a transparent surface which allows you to see through it.

In this article, we’re looking at four types of transparent tech which include typical projection head-up displays (HUDs), LCDs, OLEDs, and transparent electroluminescent displays (TASEL). We’ll look at the pros and cons of each and show you how transparent display technology plays an essential part in our working lives and free time. An explanatory video by researcher Jose Rosa is available at the end of this blog post.

It's still an iPad, so you can do anything and everything else with it, from watching movies to responding to emails. Just keep in mind that you'll have to buy the second-generation Apple Pencil separately. Read our Best iPads guide for more.

This means they’re thinner and lighter and have higher levels of brightness which is why they’re used to create displays in smartphones, tablets, computer/laptop monitors and portable games consoles.

OLEDs are ideal for devices like mobile phones, as consumers are likely to change these regularly, which is less likely with a bigger purchase, like a television.

Designed as a tool for manga artists, Clip Studio Paint is jam-packed with a lot of the same features you'll see in Photoshop, but the way it handles line work is second to none. It renders every stroke beautifully, and lines feel much more fluid than they do in any other illustration app. When I tried it for the first time a few years ago, it felt like cheating. The drawing engine does just the right amount of movement filtering to keep your lines smooth and fluid, without making them feel any less free and tactile. In the same way that Photoshop built up a deep library of powerful tools over the years, Clip Studio Paint has done the same. There's a lot more going on under the hood than you might expect.

“Especially when I'm working on comics, I need Photoshop's tools for playing with the text, and laying out the entire page so my art will guide the reader's eye in the right direction,” Erika says.

Lumineq’s Transparent Electroluminescent displays consist of a glass panel with a luminescent phosphorous layer and a circuit board. The circuit board contains the drive and controls which are connected directly to the glass panel making the panel light up.

Even though it's sized like a mobile tablet (such as an iPad), the Wacom One 13 Touch is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS, so you have the full suite of desktop apps at your disposal. That's important for most, if not all, professional art workflows, which often need to use multiple apps in tandem. The screen size is more than enough to hop between apps easily and manage them without feeling constrained. It's reminiscent of a long-beloved classic, the Wacom Cintiq 13 HD from 2013. The Wacom One fills those shoes pretty well, but it lacks some of the additional physical buttons the Cintiq 13 had, and it's a little plasticky. Still, in this size, there isn't a better tethered tablet on the market.

As exciting as these unlimited possibilities are, they also create a new need for understanding and embracing the benefits of see-through displays. The eBook from below will provide you with ideas, inspiration, basic guidelines and industry examples for designing transparent displays for vehicles – from cars, tractors, and ships to aircraft.

It is a unit of luminous intensity of a light source in a definitive direction. 1 lumen = 1 candela x steradian (the SI unit of solid angle). Illuminance - the ...

Each transparent display has its positives and negatives, and they’re all fantastic ways to showcase transparent display technology at its best when applied in areas which suit their purpose perfectly.

Lumineq is also working hard on bringing more colors to our electroluminescent displays and looking at more ways in-glass technology can be used.

Amazon's Kindle Scribe (8/10, WIRED Recommends) isn't going to replace your professional art tablet, but I've found that it makes a great companion and digital sketchbook. Drawing on the E Ink display feels good—it's fluid, responsive, and because it's E Ink and not an LCD panel, it's gentle on the eyes. It feels a lot like drawing on paper.

This device is legendary. It's been a mainstay of professional digital workspaces since its first release in 2001. The screen is vivid, bright, and sharp. The additional controls are placed intuitively, and the drawing engine is responsive, fluid, and feels luxurious.

Make sure it supports the software you like to use. This is more important on a mobile tablet than a desktop tablet since on a desktop OS you have the pick of the litter when it comes to art software. Either way, it's important to know if your favorite art software works (and works well) on any given tablet.

Illustrator and Oh Joy Sex Toy contributor Ripley LaCross has been using Clip Studio Paint as the cornerstone of their digital art workflow for the better part of eight years. As a result, Ripley's knowledge of Clip Studio Paint's ins and outs is impressive. It's not always the most user-friendly app, and there are features in there that don't get enough attention, one of which is the Library of Alexandria–sized community library of models, brushes, and assets available at your fingertips. “The robust library with free and paid assets is a game changer,” Ripley says. “Need to draw an ornate chandelier from a very specific angle and can't find photo reference? Boom, someone made a 3D model of one and it's two whole bucks.”

Think about what you like, and what you need. This might seem obvious, but take some time to write out a list of things you want out of a tablet, in order of importance. I find it helpful to have a list like this on hand before I start shopping for any new device. Product marketing is a magic trick. It's misdirection and illusion, perfectly crafted messaging to hijack your shopping priorities and convince you that this product is perfect for you, even if it isn't. It's easy to get sucked in when a tablet or other device checks one of your boxes perfectly but maybe costs more than you wanted to spend, or it's missing some other feature you'll later realize was important to you. Having a little list like this breaks that spell so you don't forget your priorities.

However, due to the limitation of monochromatic images, transparent electroluminescent displays shouldn’t be used as entertainment screens in vehicles - they should be used to display only the most critical information in the eye-line of the driver without distractions.

The first steps into creating transparent head-up displays can be traced back as far as 1937. However, it wasn’t until the 1950s, following perfections to the technology by the US and British Royal Navies, UK Ministry of Defence and, finally, the Royal Aircraft Establishment in 1958, that the first true projection ‘head-up display’ was incorporated into aircraft.

The transparent electroluminescent displays are good solutions for transportation vehicles such as cars, buses, trucks, trains, trams, boats, and airplanes because they can be laminated in glass and turn windows/windshields into information and functional displays.

There's no surefire way to shop for a digital art tablet, but there are a couple of tricks I use to check out whether a particular product will be a good fit for my workspace, and how I work.

The Intuos is exceptional for photo and video editing because it pairs well with a pro-grade calibrated monitor. Tablet displays can be great, but a perfectly calibrated professional monitor gives you better color performance for way less money than any tablet with a display I've ever used for photo or video editing. It's an approachable investment in a digital art workspace that works with all the equipment you already have—your computer, monitor, and even your laptop. The Intuos is super light and because it doesn't have a display, very travel-friendly. You can toss it into a backpack without worrying about it too much.

The Intuos is my favorite drawing tablet without a display. It's textured, just like the other tablets from Wacom, but requires an external display. I find the displayless tablets to be easier on my neck and shoulders since I'm not craning my head down. This also puts some much-appreciated distance between my eyes and the screen.

The Surface Pen and Surface Slim Pen 2 both feel intuitive and fluid, but you'll have to purchase these separately. The profile of the Surface Slim takes some getting used to since it's like one of those flattened pencils.

HUDs are ideal for planes and cars, however, Lumineq’s in-glass displays rival HUDs, doing an equally good job with the bonus of it using less space and costing less to implement too.

However, while the positives of OLED technology are many, its list of negatives is quite stark. Issues with heat, moisture, loss of brightness, pixel burnout and expense to the customer, soon take away from its positives.

This technology has been a staple for fighter pilots for decades. Although it helps pilots focus on the job and provides them with vital information, there are limitations too.

This comparison of different transparent display technologies is conducted by the Ph.D. reseracher Jose Rosa for the ImmerSAFE project. The project stands for "IMMERSIVE VISUAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR SAFETY-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS".

What tools you use and how you use them is probably the most important factor to consider when you're thinking about adding new hardware to your workspace. There are a truly dizzying number of drawing and art apps out there, and no two artists use them in the same way. So I reached out to a few professional artists to find out what software they use in their day-to-day work.

The most common transparent projection HUD is a display composed by a piece of flat glass used to project images in front of the pilot. This allows the pilot to keep their head up (hence the name ‘head-up display’) so they’re not distracted by looking down at their control panel for information during flight.

Moen and Nolan might lay out their pages and text in Photoshop, but the final line art always goes through Clip Studio Paint. “It's a great drafting program that sits nicely between Photoshop and Procreate,” Matthew added.

It’s viewable from all angles, is visible in all types of weather conditions and is the only transparent display capable of working in the most extreme environments, from the freezing temperatures of the Arctic winter to the blistering heat of a desert summer.

There are some limitations to using a standalone tablet, the biggest of which is software. You're limited to whatever's available in the operating system's app store, and multitasking can be difficult, especially if you're a multi-app workflow kind of artist. The good news is that the drawing and art app options have gotten better on iPadOS over the years. And another upside is the ability to work fully untethered. I primarily work from an 11-inch iPad Pro (a 1-TB model from 2018 still going strong!), and being able to take it anywhere is vital for my creative process. If I can't work from the couch or a café I'm probably not going to get as much work done as I'd like.

Organic light-emitting diode displays, or OLEDs for short, are a step up from LCDs when it comes to transparent technology.  For starters, unlike LCDs, OLEDs do not require the use of a backlight or any other filters due to the use of pixels which produce their own light.

Of our four featured displays, we start with the oldest, HUDs. The HUD we’re referring to here is a typical projection head-up display. These use a projection system to project images onto a piece of glass in front of the viewer. A typical HUD contains three primary components: a projector, a combiner, and a video generation computer.

There is also an emerging technology called TASEL, which makes it possible to laminate displays in glass and show information without a projection system. However, as this a different transparent technology, we’ll mention this later in the article.

Picking up a tablet is the first step to building a workspace for digital art customized to your tastes and style. The next one is finding what works for you, what doesn't, and what else you need to tailor your digital workflow. Here are a few accessories that can help you do just that.

But like drawing on paper, there's no zoom in or out feature, or layer options. It's very bare-bones, but this is honestly refreshing. It's nice to acknowledge that this is a product for sketching, not turning every sketch into a fully colored illustration. I mostly use an iPad Pro for illustration, but it can get a little heavy when carrying it around all day. The Scribe's featherweight body makes it much more comfortable to carry in a bag while you're out and about. It's a great notebook and sketchbook for spending time in museums or for travel.

The Wacom One 13 Touch (8/10 WIRED Recommends) is a great little tablet. It's lightweight; features a bright, colorful 13-inch screen; and provides nearly the same stylus precision as more expensive digital art drawing tablets. Gliding the included stylus across the display, there's enough texture to make the experience feel tactile and intuitive. The display's width gives ample room for sidebars and menus while leaving the bulk of the screen real estate the star of the show. It's important to note that this is not a wireless device—you'll need to plug it into a PC with a USB-C cable.

The art software landscape for Android has been pretty sparse in the past. It's still not as robust as it is on iPadOS, Windows, or macOS, but there are a couple of standouts: Clip Studio Paint, Krita, and Concepts offer almost the same experience as other platforms. Clip Studio Paint, in particular, shines on the Galaxy Tab S9+ because the extra width from the tablet makes it easy to manage the app's somewhat cluttered user interface.

LCDs are perfect for catching the eye of customers when used in window displays, while OLEDs really come into their own in mobile phones.

Take advantage of return windows. If the store you're ordering from has a return policy, order the product you're thinking about, keep all the packaging, and give it a test drive. You'll know very quickly if it'll work for you or if it won't. If it doesn't, pack it up nicely and request a return label.

Transparent display technology surrounds us, even if we aren’t aware of it. In this article we look at transparent head-up displays, LCDs, OLEDs and transparent electroluminescent technology and delve into the pros and cons of the four main transparent technology displays.

Photoshop's DNA as a photo editing suite means it's acquired a lot of powerful and granular tools over the years. It's a great option for formatting pages, manipulating text, and handling photo layers— which can be helpful when working from reference photos for environments. It's a powerhouse, but there are a few things other apps can do better.

And HUDs are no-longer restricted to airplanes with cars starting to adopt the technology to assist drivers with critical information.

The Galaxy Tab S9+ is a great Android tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends). The AMOLED display is gorgeous, vibrant, and makes digital paintings pop. In my quest for a great mobile drawing tablet, I've visited the Android sphere many times. Spending quality time with Samsung's S9+ is the first time I've felt that I could do professional quality work on the operating system. The S Pen is responsive and feels nice—something about its length and weight distribution feels like a high-quality pencil.

However, if you think this is new technology, think again. While most transparent technology has come to the fore since the millennium, it was being used as far back as the mid-20th century.

Lumineq’s transparent electroluminescent displays are ideal in transportation vehicles, heavy machinery, such as tractors, and optical devices, like range-finders and night-vision goggles.

Even if you're a seasoned professional and you know what you like and how you work, wading into the world of drawing and digital art tablets can be overwhelming. Not only do they get pricey, but it's hard to tell which ones work well with the way you work. I've worked as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator for almost as long as I've been a writer (around 15 years). I've even illustrated a few videos for WIRED, but if that experience has taught me anything, it's that every digital artist works differently. That's what I kept in mind while I tested—the best drawing tablet for you might not be so great for someone else.

The founders of the Oh Joy Sex Toy webcomic, Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan, use Adobe Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint as the foundation of their digital art workflows.

As it’s an inorganic display with solid-state design, it’s unaffected by environmental changes, meaning it will withstand extreme temperatures (high or low), humidity, moisture, vibration and shock - none of which affects its response time.

It's an extremely varied field, so I spoke with several digital artists working across a variety of disciplines to find out how they work and which tools work for them, and why. In this guide, you'll find digital art tablets of every shape, size, and price to help you find the models right for you and your work.

However, to see the information, it needed the reintroduction of a backlight at all times to view it and, although this technology has been used to display products in stores, the need for constant light at the rear of the display makes its use limited outside of a strictly controlled environment.

The Cintiq Pro 22 feels like it wants you to do your best work. Sitting in front of one of these is humbling and inspiring in a way that few products in its category can match. The stylus feels natural and achieves a level of tactile confidence with every stroke that I haven't seen on other drawing tablets. The display is otherworldly. A lot of people have 4K TVs in their homes, but the thing about a 4K display that's right at your fingertips means you're so close you get to see how sharp it looks up close. Adding to this fluidity is the Cintiq Pro's 120-Hz refresh rate. When paired with the supersensitive Pro Pen 3, it feels like you're dragging a pencil across paper. It's so smooth and responsive it's surreal. In addition to its prowess as a digital art tablet, it features a VESA mount so you can mount it to a flexible monitor arm, or stand of your choice.

They were thinner and lighter, easier to scale. And for the manufacturers, the cost of production was lower, so it’s easy to see how LCD displays quickly became a favorite with manufacturers and consumers.

The original iPad Pro was life-changing for me. Before it, none of the digital-art-on-the-go products offered what I was looking for: a fully-featured art tablet that wasn't tethered to a computer and wasn't super bulky. The iPad Pro has been my constant companion ever since. It's my sketchbook, my pro art workspace, and no matter how many tablets I try, I always come back to it.

The Microsoft Surface took a few generations to hit its stride, but the Surface Pro 9 is one of the first tablets to give my beloved iPad Pro some competition as a digital art workstation you can take anywhere. The advantage here is the Surface Pro 9's keyboard experience, which is more intuitive and fully-featured than the iPad Pro. Because it runs Windows, you get desktop-quality digital art software. With the iPad Pro, you're still at the mercy of the Apple App Store, and some software options still don't match their desktop counterparts.
