ZUK, the startup backed by Lenovo has taken wraps off its prototype Android smartphone that sports a stunning transparent display. The prototype was showcased along with the ZUK Z1, which the company launched last week.
The concept of transparent display that once seemed futuristic is now for real. While manufacturers are focusing on smartphones with premium materials, slim profile and elegant design, the startup coming up with a working prototype of a transparent display is something not many would have expected.
Just like any other smartphone, this transparent screen allows images and text to be displayed on the screen. However, due to transparent nature, it offers a very cool see-through effect. At this point, the supposed real-world use of this transparent display is still unclear, but augmented reality could be something apt for this technology.
At the event where this prototype was displayed, it was tethered to a dock, which means the working hardware could be hidden inside the box and what you're seeing is purely the display. Given the fact that it's just a working prototype, it may not officially release anytime soon. But who knows, ZUK might just spring-in a surprise by launching a transparent display smartphone, someday.
