    Post us a picture of the frame(s) showing this new screen. I can't be bothered downloading the whole file (56K modem don't you know!)

    It's a Sony design excercise.

    Nothing special there with that screen.

    LCD screens are made out of glass, and are transparent. Thats so that light can get through, either from a backlight, or the sun.



    Take all the bits away, and you are left with a clear screen. I think it would suck.

    Right on the money woozle.



    A clear LCD may look cool for design reasons, but for practical reasons, there are enormous shortcomings. For example, if you were a graphic designer, the pure white backlight which normally provided your overall color scheme would be gone.

    What are you talking about. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> When the LCD is activated (powered up) it behaves much like your typical LCD display. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />



    Sure, it's more of a cool design feature than anything else. It looks futuristic. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" /> I'd get one.
