Excerpt:
The new Data Modul displays, developed by Japan Display Inc., can enable things like real-time visual translation. The idea is that for processing applications for things like passports and visas, or getting directions to train platforms, the interchange can be handled on both sides of the counter in a preferred language – with the selected language appearing simultaneously on both sides of the transparent display.
The TFT LCD displays have 12 and 21-inch versions. The resolution is 1440×540 pixels for the smaller model and 1280×720 pixels for the larger one, with transparency levels of 84% and 90% respectively.
