Lenovo introduces Transparent Display Laptop at MWC 2024

Lenovo is at MWC Barcelona this year with a new proof-of-concept that looks really cool. It’s their transparent laptop, which was rumored and even leaked out ahead of MWC Barcelona. But now it is here. It’s going by the name “ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop.” It uses a Micro-LED transparent display and transparent keyboard to blend digital content with the physical environment.

The ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop also has a borderless screen, which makes it look like your content is just floating there, almost like you’re in VR, but without a heavy headset.

Lenovo says that the “brilliance of this laptop lies in its intelligent integration of the virtual and real.” It uses Artificial Intelligence Generated Content or AIGC; the transparent screen is able to open up new ways for work collaboration and efficiency by enabling interaction with physical objects and overlaying digital information to create unique user-generated content.

Micro-LED offers a ton of advantages in the development of transparent displays. We’ve seen transparent displays already this year from Samsung and LG at CES using Micro-LED, but this is the first time we’ve seen it on a laptop. It sports high color saturation, combined with exceptional contrast and 1000-nit brightness on the screen. All of which work to allow for optimal visibility both indoors and outdoors.

Lenovo claims that this laptop is not only a “good proof of concept but showcases a futuristic perspective on AI PCs.” Currently, Lenovo has no plans to sell this laptop, unfortunately, as it remains a proof of concept only.

These laptops also include a stunning design, along with Lenovo’s Communications Bar that has a 5-megapixel camera, noise-canceling microphones, and also works as a lip to make opening the laptop with one hand much easier.

The ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 is the second-generation detachable Windows tablet form factor from Lenovo, and it also offers Intel Core Ultra processors inside. It includes ThinkPad durability and an integrated AI engine for highly mobile professionals.

Finally, we have the ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4 which is a versatile laptop updated with the company’s new drop hinge.
