Richardson expects that transparent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) will be embedded in structural glass, so that flat clear panels will provide a plethora of lighting options.
The universe is pretty transparent to optical light--that's how we can see far away galaxies.
By carefully tailoring the semiconductor layers, the researchers can make lasers that shine in two bands of infra-red light to which the atmosphere is highly transparent allowing the light to travel a long way.
The CNC-made cells are not only transparent enough to allow light to pass into an embedded semiconductor, but they also dissolve when submerged into water, thus earning the esteemed recyclable distinction.
The vibe in the Fusion Hybrid is one of abiding integration: the subtle slurring of ratios in the continuously variable transmission, the share-the-load cooperation between electric and gas engine (2.0-liter, 141-hp Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder), a sort of light, transparent flickering of power sources.

The IceTouch (YP-H1), featuring the world's first 2-inch, full color, transparent Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) touch-screen display, functions as a DVD-quality video player, studio quality audio player, an ultra-portable photo album, an FM radio and even a portable storage device.

It will have to be an insulator and to be transparent to the relevant laser light.
For example, iron-gall ink, commonly used on ancient documents, is transparent to infra-red light and most visible in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.
You can get a special roof that will glow with ambient light or become completely transparent at the touch of a button.
Though the carbon nanotubes absorb infra-red light, they are almost totally transparent to the visible variety.
This negative is illuminated from the front by an arc lamp, and the light from this lamp passes through the transparent regions of the liquid-crystal layer to the middle layer.
Think of it as a sheet of chicken-wire that is just a single atom thick, but also lightweight, strong, airtight, stretchable, transparent and an excellent conductor of both electricity and light.
FORBES: Silicon Chips May Have Quite A Bright Future, Says Nobel Prize Winner
Physicists have known for a long time that the speed of light is reduced when it travels though any transparent medium, such as water or glass.
The UCLA team describes a new kind of polymer solar cell (PSC) that produces energy by absorbing mainly infrared light, not visible light, making the cells nearly 70% transparent to the human eye.

When it is ground into nanoparticles it can still block harmful ultraviolet radiation, but it allows visible light to pass straight though, which means modern sunscreens can appear completely transparent, while offering the same protection as the old white stuff.
As it happens, the coffee-like stains that he and his colleagues had been trying to remove with fast-drying solvents was actually the solution to his problem, since they remained in contact with each other as they dried and preserved conductivity, but left about 95 percent of the light through the holes in the center, thereby making the screen itself almost fully transparent.

Nanophase can make them 50 nanometers wide, which renders the zinc oxide transparent no more white goop since each crystalline particle is small enough to allow harmless light to pass through.
Nanophase can make them as small as 50 nanometers wide, which renders the zinc oxide transparent no more white goop since each crystalline particle is small enough to allow harmless light to pass through.
