A screen you can see through.
Glass that shows a picture and the room behind it at the same time. Put it in a shop window, a museum case, or a showroom, and the content appears to float in mid air.
The screen is the surface. The room is the background.
There is no backlight panel behind the image. Light passes straight through the glass, so a product on a shelf, a sculpture in a case, or the street outside stays fully visible while text and graphics sit on top of it.
What a transparent panel does
Every panel we build is made to order, so these are the levers we set for your space rather than a fixed spec sheet.
See through and show at once
The panel is clear when it is off and clear behind the picture when it is on. Bright graphics read clearly while whatever sits behind the glass stays visible.
Bright enough for daylight
We tune the brightness to where the panel will live. A dim gallery needs far less light than a south facing shop window in full sun, and we build for the harder case.
Sized to the opening
Single panels for a case, or many tiled together into one large surface for a window or wall. The picture spans the whole surface with no visible break.
Installed to last
Mounted, powered, and wired to play on its own. It turns on with the building, plays its schedule, and turns off again with no one in the room.
Tell us about the space
Every transparent display we make starts with the opening it goes into. Send us the dimensions, the light, and what you want people to see, and we will tell you what is possible.
Clear, bright, and built to size.
The four things that decide whether a transparent display works in your space: how clear it is, how bright it is, how big we can make it, and how it goes in.
Brightness, made for the room
Brightness is measured in nits, which is just how much light the screen gives off. The right number depends entirely on what is competing with it.
Indoor and shaded
A museum case or a quiet showroom. The screen does not fight much light, so it can run softer, which keeps the room calm and the picture gentle.
Bright interior
A mall concourse or a lobby with skylights. The picture has to push past a lot of ambient light to stay readable, so we set it brighter.
Direct sun
A shop window facing the street. This is the hardest case. We build the panel to stay legible even when sunlight is falling straight on the glass.
Clarity, on both sides of the glass
Transparency means two things at once: how clear the picture is, and how clearly you can see through the panel to what is behind it.
How much you see through
Higher transparency lets more of the background through, which is what makes content seem to float. We pick the level that keeps both the picture and the scene behind it readable.
A picture that holds up close
Pixels are the tiny dots that make the image. We space them for the distance people stand at. A window seen from the pavement needs fewer dots than a case someone leans into.
Even light across the surface
No bright patch in the middle, no dim corners. The picture reads the same edge to edge, which matters most on large tiled surfaces.
Honest colour
What you design is what shows. We calibrate colour so a brand red on screen matches the brand red on the box sitting behind the glass.
How we set up a panel
These are the choices we make together for each install. We do not sell a fixed model, so the values are set to your space.
- Brightness
- Set to the location, from soft for galleries to high for direct sun
- Transparency
- Chosen so both the picture and the background stay clear
- Pixel spacing
- Matched to how close people will stand
- Colour
- Calibrated to your brand before handover
- Single panel
- For cases, counters, and smaller openings
- Tiled surface
- Many panels joined into one large picture for windows and walls
- Orientation
- Portrait, landscape, or a custom shape to fit the opening
- Edges
- Built to meet flush so a tiled surface reads as one screen
- Mounting
- Wall, floor, ceiling, or freestanding, fixed for the building
- Power and data
- Routed and hidden, with one feed to the panel
- Playback
- Plays a schedule on its own, no laptop in the room
- On and off
- Follows building hours or a timer you set
We measure the opening first. Then we build to it.
A transparent display only looks effortless when its brightness, clarity, and size are matched to the exact wall or window it lives in. That measurement is the first thing we do.
Where a see-through screen earns its place.
A transparent display is worth it when you want to show information and keep the thing behind it visible at the same time. Here is where that pays off.
In the world
Four places it changes the room
Each of these works because the panel adds a layer without taking the real object away.
Retail windows
The product stays in the window and the price, the story, and the offer appear over it. People on the pavement see both at once, day or night, without a poster covering the goods.
Window displaysMuseums and galleries
A case stays a case. The artefact is fully visible and the label, the date, and the story play on the glass in front of it, so nobody looks down at a separate screen.
Exhibition casesSignage and wayfinding
In a lobby or station the panel gives directions and notices while the space behind it stays open and light. It informs without walling off the room.
Public signageShowrooms
A car, a watch, or a machine sits behind the glass and its specs, finishes, and features animate over the real object. The customer sees the thing and the detail together.
Showroom displaysWhy see-through beats a normal screen here
In every one of these places, the point is the object behind the glass. A solid screen would hide it.
The real thing stays the star
Customers trust what they can see. The product is still right there, not replaced by a picture of it on a black panel.
Light keeps moving
Glass lets daylight through, so a window stays a window and a lobby stays open. The space does not feel boxed in by a wall of screen.
Content floats
Because there is no visible panel behind the image, text and graphics seem to hang in the air over the object, which draws the eye in a way a flat screen does not.
It works after hours
A shop window keeps selling when the shop is shut. The panel plays its schedule to the street all night and switches off on its own.
Show the product. And the story over it.
The transparent panel is the only screen that lets a customer keep looking at the real object while you tell them everything about it.
Bespoke, from the wall up.
There is no catalogue model to pick from. We build each transparent display for one space, one opening, and one purpose, then install it and make sure it runs on its own.
How a project runs
From the first measurement to the day it plays its own schedule, here is what working with us looks like.
1. We see the space
We measure the opening, check the light through the day, and learn what you want people to see. That decides brightness, clarity, and size before anything is built.
2. We design the panel
We propose the layout, the transparency level, and the mounting, and we show you how the content will sit over whatever is behind the glass.
3. We build and tile
Single panel or many panels joined into one surface, made to your dimensions and calibrated to your brand colours before it leaves us.
4. We install and hand over
We mount it, hide the power and data, load your content, and set the schedule. You get a screen that turns on, plays, and turns off without anyone tending it.
Things we tailor to you
The parts of a transparent display that change from one project to the next.
Size and shape
From a single case panel to a full window wall, in portrait, landscape, or a custom shape that fits the opening exactly.
Talk sizingBrightness and clarity
Tuned to the light in your space and the distance people stand at, so it reads the same in a quiet gallery or a sunlit window.
Talk specsContent and schedule
We can hand over a panel you update yourself or set it to play a fixed schedule that follows your opening hours.
Talk playbackQuestions before you start
Yes. Single panels cover small openings, and for larger ones we join many panels into one surface built to your exact dimensions. The picture spans the whole surface with no visible break.
A shop window in full sun is the hardest case, and we build for it. We set the brightness high enough that the picture stays readable even with sunlight falling straight on the glass.
Whatever you put there. The panel is transparent, so the product, artefact, or scene behind it stays fully visible while your content plays on top.
No. We set it to play a schedule and follow your hours, so it turns on with the building, plays on its own, and turns off again. You can also update the content yourself if you want to.
Because every panel is bespoke, we quote after we have seen the opening, the light, and the content. Send us the space and we will tell you what is possible and what it costs.
