Natual light lcd screen

Seagull

I've just seen an lcd monitor that is entirely transparent, so could, for instance be stuck to a window to use natural light in place of a backlight.

Its got me thinking, could I just tear the back off a normal monitor and use it against a window? I guess it will depend on the internal structure of the monitor - might give it a try this evening.

LCD is transparent so you will be able to see through it, I have empirical evidence for this, I have personally observed LCD windows where with the press of a button you can change them from opaque to transparent..

Whether you will break the rest of the monitor doing this mod this is another question entirely. 🙂 Be careful about the ribbon cable. You might want to search out the technical service manual first and review the construction prior to starting this project.

The monitor will still continue using dithering, that won't change.
