LG Partial Screen is a transparent OLED display designed with 25% devised shutter blades that can be individually controlled. It’s a collaborative project between LG Display and Jiyoun Kim, trying to find meaningful touchpoint between the transparent OLED technology and people’s lives. Our transparent display has technological limitations when it comes to displaying black due to the light shining through the back side. Keeping this in mind, we need to selectively close the back side for transparent display to be used as a conventional TV.

Jiyoun Kim, Hannah Lee, and Jaehyuk Lim designed Partial Screen as 55-inch transparent LED with individually motorized shutter blades, it helps control the transparency of the screen simply by controlling the light shining through. These shutter blades would create a unique PUI with an array of individual partitions. LG Partial Screen technology wants to bring familiar visual experience rooted from our own home and furniture. This project is finished with functioning prototype, it has successfully explored the potential of transparent OLED technology to blend in our life in a form of interactive appliance.
