What is a Transparent OLED Display?
A Transparent OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display is a self-emissive screen that displays digital content while allowing up to 45% transparency, enabling viewers to see both the content and the objects or environment behind it. Unlike traditional LCD displays, Transparent OLED panels do not require a backlight, resulting in exceptional contrast, vivid colours and a sleek, lightweight design. CDS offers Transparent OLED displays in 30″, 48″ stretched, 55″ and 77″ formats, with optional PCAP touch integration for interactive applications. In short, it creates the WOW factor!

Some Transparent OLED Applications
How Does Transparent OLED Work?
- Each pixel is made of organic ligth emitting material.
- When current is applied, the panel emits light.
- When no current is applied, the pixel is completely transparent.
- The viewer sees the lit content appearing to float in real space.
Transparent OLED Comparrison
FAQ's
Each technology has its strengths depending on the application.
Transparent OLED
- Best for close and medium distance viewing due to high resolution
- Outstanding image quality
- True blacks and ultra-high contrast (up to 200,000:1)
- Supports touch interaction
- Ideal for museums, retail, showrooms and exhibitions etc
Transparent LED
- Better suited to very large glass facades
- Higher brightness
- Designed for long-distance viewing
- Lower image quality at close range
- Limited interactive capabilities
- Allow stores to create large format LED signage without all the light being blocked like standard LED displays
Transparent MicroLED
- Highest brightness and transparency
- Excellent for premium large-format installations
- Higher cost
- Emerging technology with fewer commercial deployments but cost forecasted to fall
For most indoor commercial environments where visitors are standing within a few metres of the display, Transparent OLED offers the best balance of image quality, interaction and value.
Transparent OLED displays are widely used wherever businesses want to combine digital content with physical products or environments.
Typical applications include:
- Retail window displays
- Luxury showrooms
- Museums and galleries
- Exhibition stands
- Visitor centres
- Theme parks
- Hotel lobbies
- Airport lounges
- Corporate reception areas
- Interactive product demonstrations
Because the screen remains transparent, products behind the display remain visible while digital content enhances the visitor experience.
Yes.
CDS Transparent OLED displays can be supplied with optically bonded Projected Capacitive (PCAP) touch technology, allowing visitors to interact directly with content on the screen.
Interactive applications include:
- Product exploration
- Museum information
- Wayfinding
- Digital catalogues
- Virtual assistants
- Educational experiences
- Brand storytelling
This makes Transparent OLED particularly suitable for customer-facing installations where engagement is important.
CDS Transparent OLED displays offer up to 45% transparency, allowing viewers to clearly see objects, products or environments behind the screen while digital content is displayed simultaneously.
The level of transparency creates a striking visual effect without completely obscuring the background, making it ideal for display cases, shop windows and architectural installations..
Transparent OLED provides some of the highest image quality available in transparent display technology.
Key features include:
- Up to 4K resolution on the 77-inch model
- Ultra-high contrast ratios up to 200,000:1
- Wide 178° viewing angles
- Rich, vibrant colours
- Deep blacks made possible by OLED’s self-emissive pixels
- Automatic brightness adjustment (200–600 nits depending on ambient lighting)
Because each pixel produces its own light, images appear sharper and more lifelike than many alternative transparent display technologies.
CDS currently offers Transparent OLED solutions in several formats to suit different applications:
- 30-inch
- 48-inch stretched
- 55-inch
- 77-inch (currently the largest commercially available Transparent OLED display)
Displays are available as standalone monitors, integrated modules, portrait or landscape displays, kiosks and interactive touchscreen systems. New sizes are always being added so sign up for our newsletter on our website to keep up to date with the latest developments.
Yes.
Transparent OLED displays are designed for flexible integration into:
- Custom furniture
- Retail fixtures
- Glass partitions
- Display cabinets
- Museum showcases
- Exhibition stands
- Interactive kiosks
- Architectural installations
CDS can also supply complete integrated solutions with touchscreens, embedded PCs, Android systems and custom enclosures, allowing the display to become part of a larger digital experience rather than simply acting as a monitor.
Transparent OLED performs best in indoor controlled lighting environments, where its exceptional contrast and image quality can be fully appreciated.
Many CDS models include automatic brightness regulation that adjusts brightness between approximately 200 and 600 cd/m² based on ambient light levels, helping optimise visibility while reducing power consumption.
For direct sunlight or very bright outdoor applications, Transparent LED or MicroLED technologies may be more suitable due to their significantly higher brightness levels. If in doubt you are welcome to visit our showroom at our HQ at Rochester in Kent.
