xiaomi unveils world's first mass-produced transparent TV

chinese electronic company xiaomi has unveiled the Mi TV LUX transparent edition, the world’s first mass-produced transparent TV. featuring an edge-to-edge transparent self-luminous display, the TV transmits images that seem to be suspended in the air, creating a new way to consume visual content previously seen only in movies. priced at RMB 49,999 (about USD$7,200), this see-through TV follows the concepts presented by samsung, LG and panasonic, with the only difference that this will see the market soon.

‘Mi TV LUX transparent edition offers a perfect combination of cutting-edge display technology and exquisite industrial design,’ comments xiaomi. ‘for xiaomi, it is also a major exploration of future TV forms. when Mi TV LUX transparent edition is turned off, it looks like a mere glass display. the pictures it displays seem to be floating in the air, merging the virtual and the real to bring an unprecedented visual experience.’

contrary to traditional TVs that come with a back panel, the xiaomi Mi TV LUX transparent edition has all processing units in its base stand. this allowed to preserve the compact shape of the screen but brought countless technical challenges. a 55’’ transparent OLED panel features a 150000:1 static contrast ratio and an infinite dynamic contrast ratio, offering extra rich blacks and unmatched brightness while restoring the awe-inspiring colors that bring images to life.

not a TV, but an art piece, Mi TV LUX transparent edition adopts an aesthetic design that combines a 5.7mm ultra-thin body rectangular screen and a round base, creating an ultra-immersive viewing experience. the base stand is covered with a millimeter-grade finish that resembles compact discs blending perfectly into any surroundings. the TV is perfect not only for homes, but also for galleries, museums, shopping malls, and theaters.
