Transparent phone - Polytron Technologies


Starting my new blog on the last sequential date of the century (11-12-13) !! That's great.....

Would start with the most wanted topic in the phone industry.. Everyone assumed and rumors were spread that the iPhone 6 would be a transparent phone but many think it is not possible, but actually there are tests made to actually make it possible. Anything that is transparent just looks cool to us. This excitement originally arose from all the sci-fi movies that use transparent devices and advanced technologies. They sort of defy all logic, especially when technology is involved. Yet, in reality also scientists are trying really hard to make it seem possible with the liquid crystal technology. Liquid crystal technology is being used to create a transparent phone by its constant switching open and close format which makes me wonder, will we someday lose our phones because we literally can’t see it?

A few companies including Polytron Technologies are working hard to make this possible. Their Smart Glass Technology looks a bit cloudy white and when the device is powered on, the switching molecules open up making the device opaque and not fully transparent as things such as the sim card, battery, speaker, camera are hard to be hidden through glass reflections. Working prototypes are expected this year and with any luck Polytron will find some interested phone manufacturers and become an OEM partner. So keep an eye out (if you can see them) for transparent phones in the near future !!
