Lenovo unveiled the world’s first computer with a transparent screen, which provides solutions for displaying information clearly in situations that require visual communication between the user and the person sitting opposite him.
The new computer, according to CompanyIt is an experimental model, called Project Crystal, and offers a 17.3-inch advanced microLED screen, in addition to providing it with the ability to blend digital content on the screen with the world surrounding the user.
The company equipped its experimental device with artificial intelligence capabilities, so that information and digital explanatory signals are presented to the user about the physical elements present in front of him in reality.
The new screen comes with integrated layers, and despite this, Lenovo has maintained its thinness, with a brightness of up to 3000 light points.
The Chinese company plans to add a new layer to control the degree of light contrast, so that the user can choose the level of screen transparency, bringing it to the degree of complete opacity, making its transparency non-existent, so it can be used as a traditional screen.
Model problems
Despite its advanced technology, the prototype of the Lenovo personal computer suffers from several problems, the most important of which is the screen resolution. If the user approaches it, he will notice the large size of the pixels.
The Chinese company also needs more effort to develop the device’s hinge between its base and its screen, as the screen can close at any time during use, if it is placed at any angle greater or less than 90 degrees.
The model’s keyboard is also one of its shortcomings, as the Chinese company did not rely on the traditional keyboard design, as it borrowed from the Yoga Book family of computers the idea of the Touch keyboard, but the Engadget website indicated that typing on it does not provide the required accuracy.
Lenovo pointed out that the accuracy of typing on its touch keyboard is easy to develop in the future by relying on artificial intelligence, which will be able to easily understand the way a person writes, and adapt the keyboard design accordingly.
Also, the main obstacle to moving the experimental computer to expanded production lines is the high cost of manufacturing microLED screens, as the products available in the markets that use these screens are already of high cost, such as Apple Vision Pro glasses, as well as Samsung’s distinctive screen The Wall, both of which are not They are classified as mass-produced products, as is the case with personal computers.
Lenovo did not reveal the date or possibility of launching the Project Crystal model on the market in the form of a commercial product.
