Introduction
Introduction
The Planar
®
LookThru™ Transparent OLED Display showcases dynamic or interactive
information on a transparent surface glass. This display allows users to view what is
shown on a glass video screen while still being able to see through it. Designers can
overlay text, digital images, and video content onto physical objects or scenes that sit
behind the glass.
Truly See-Through Installations
The first-of-its-kind Planar LookThru is a self-emitting display that utilizes Organic Light
Emitting Diode (OLED) to eliminate the need for a backlight or enclosure, making it
possible to create truly see-through installations. The design offers virtually frameless
glass with up to 45 percent light transmissivity, creating clear, unobstructed views of
objects, scenes, or other digital screens behind the transparent display.
Flexible Design Options
The Planar LookThru measures 55-inch in diagonal. It can be used in both portrait and
landscape modes, and can be table mounted, ceiling mounted, or built into custom
fixtures. It can also be tiled to create large, eye-catching video wall arrays.
Brilliant Picture Quality in a Large Viewing Size
The Planar LookThru offers vibrant colors greater than 100 percent National Television
System Committee (NTSC) performance as well as wide viewing angles with no off-axis
contrast or brightness limitations. The display provides Full HD resolution that allows for
beautiful graphics and full-motion video.
High Durability
The Planar LookThru features the proprietary Planar
®
ERO-
OLED™ (Extended
Ruggedness an
d Optics™) technology, which uses a protective optically-clear Corning
®
Gorilla
®
Glass bonded to the front surface of the display. This high-durability surface can
withstand the rigors of high-traffic environments and interactive touch.
Source Compatibility
The Planar LookThru comes with standard digital inputs including HDMI and DisplayPort,
is fully controllable using RS-232, LAN, Crestron and other control systems, and is
compatible with sources ranging from PCs and players to consumer video devices that
rely on High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliance. The display is
compatible with processing solutions for tiling applications or advanced source
management.
