Imagine looking out your window and wanting instead to watch TV. Instead of drawing the drapes and grabbing the remote, you click a button on the remote that instantly converts your window into the TV.
The AIST fluorescent glass technology could make this a reality in the future. What’s also attractive is that this display can be powered by solar power without modifying the solar cell technology.
Once the technology gets improved, it could also be used as a cleaner ‘heads up’ type display in aircraft and automobiles.
