Polytron has unveiled the prototype of a transparent smartphone housing. It could even end the year on the market, but also solves the problem that it still is not enough transparent components on the market.
After all, it should work. Polytron has unveiled the prototype of a transparent smartphones. Even in the picture you can see, however, difficult to see that "transparent" only to the housing and the display relates. Individual components such as the camera, the memory card or a printed circuit board are visible. And what's with no small components such as the processor and the battery? Because there still are not any marketable components that would ruin your day on a powerful transparent phone.

Along the way, we are all: Materials scientists at Stanford University have been an early version of a transparent Li-on batteries created that can be applied as a thin, flexible, and not visible to the human eye on a display layer. The charge capacity should be at least about half of modern smartphone battery, long term is ten times the amount of charge is possible, say the researchers. Yet the technology is not ready for the market and it would not be cheap. Unlikely that such a battery is Polytron in time for the transparent housing use.
When transparent, it is also elastic
Transparent processors are still missing, camera lenses and transparent, transparent memory is at least by scientists at Rice University already developed - even if he is still far away from a market. Piece by piece, the approach that is at Wisschenschaftler duchsichtigen materials. Mostly - as the transparent and storage batteries - these the advantage that they are also at the same time flexible. Which means: If one day is really a transparent smartphone, then the chances are good that there will also be flexible.
Both, however - let you tell because of Polytron nothing - is still in the future. Since the end of 2013 should really get a "transparent smartphone," then it would have the grace of this case, where you can take a look at the highly visible, electronics inside. In early mobile phones and digital cameras offered some to the manufacturer. Some techies bought that too, mostly for lack of demand, but such models disappeared after a short time off the shelves.
That leaves the question of whether a transparent smartphone would necessarily desirable. One should finally read out text, images and animations seen, can work a bit more with it. We bring it when you look in the brightest sunlight onto a glass pane? Or it has not yet entirely his sense that a smartphone or tablet just is not transparent?
