That Samsung has a penchant for transparent displays was quite evident at different times throughout 2010, nevertheless the Korean consumer electronics giant wants to begin the new year by reminding everyone about its obsession. Samsung Mobile Display, a Samsung subsidiary, has confirmed that it will be showcasing a couple of transparent AMOLED displays at the Pepcom Digital pre-CES event.
On show will be 19-inch and 14-inch flavors of its qFHD transparent AMOLED display technology. Even though Sammy showed off the displays at SID 2010 in May, it has decided to do an encore.
The 19-inch display is the world’s first large-screen transparent AMOLED production prototype. Further, it boasts 30 percent transparency and the highest possible resolution among similar-sized transparent displays.
For good measure, the company will also be bringing a 4.5-inch WVGA flexible AMOLED display to the event.

A HUD (Heads up display) used in aircraft and some vehicles projects an image on to a pane of glass that is angled such so that you get a reflection as well as the ability to see through it.
HMD would be more like a transparent display

What's the point of a transparent screen? It's bad enough there are glossy screens.

When you consider the application of a wearable display, this is really intriguing especially considering that this can be rolled to a radius of < 1cm. This could be embedded into motorcycle helmets to put the speed, tach. navigation, caller id etc. in the visual field of the driver.
Even more cool to me is the idea of an overlay on life. Imagine that you could have everyone's name overlaid on their forehead so you would never forget it? Or make your terrible boss look like Bozo the clown? Now we're cooking.
Look in the mirror in the morning and see your stocks, the weather, sports, and WOW auction bids!
Imagine a little and you may find this to be VERY cool....
