Hewlett Packard succeeded in patenting its first "See-through display". The U. S. patent is filed under patent number 8,212,744. It is fairly well known that other technology companies (such as Samsung) have their own plans for similar transparent displays. Samsung so far has the most interesting YouTube video on the development and it appears in the sidebar. The technology is so advanced that they have not placed press releases on their websites at this writing. Searching for information and images on this technology may prove challenging as it really seems to be a front-line technological development. Of course, see-through technology has been in development since around 2000 (see the Microvision image). This is an apparent technological coup for HP as a search for a similar Samsung U. S. patent was not successful - at least at this writing. The see-through concept has been developing slowly - perhaps in "jumps" - and examples appear in the Slideshow.
