TechSpot: Polytron Transparent Smartphone

Transparent smartphones: the thing of the future. Anyone who has seen any sci-movies has seen transparent phones which are basically a piece of glass. That will come farther in the future. But if you are impatient like most of us, and want the best thing available with a relatively short wait, Polytron is for you.

Now, don’t get to excited. Polytron’s smartphone pictured above is still in its developing stage. As you can see, not all of the hardware is completely transparent, and all the add-ons like a camera are visible. Sill, it is a pretty big jump from the old iPhones and other smartphones.

The secret to Polytron’s masterpiece is what they call, “Switchable Glass Technology”. It uses liquid crystal molecules to form the images or text. But when no energy is flowing through the phone, the molecules turn white and clear, making a perfect transparent smartphone.

But Polytron aren’t stopping there. They say in a couple weeks they will announce their design for a transparent tablet. Sooner or later, the word will be full of these transparent smartphones, and sci-fi movies wil become reality.
