So a while ago, you ran along with some of these transparent OLED displays. Great little things, sadly I was never able to get my hands on 1 due to supply problems at various resellers. And now it appears that they have gone out of production. =(
I got my hands on 1 of them recently though, lightly used, but still fine, and am proceeding to test it out with various ideas that I've been mulling around with ever since I saw the things available.
However, finally getting to use 1, I have noticed some minor issues with visiblity on it when in a bright area. Troublesome to say the least. What I've come to the conclusion is that if possible, this thing (or future variations on the idea) should possibly be order-able with a matching sized "LCD" that can mount to it.
It might not be an LCD that you are looking for. See in my experiments, what I've done is taken the viewport out of an "auto-darkening" welding helmet. Regularly quite see though, but at the hit of a button, it goes a solid color making the OLED much more visible in bright areas. I believe most of these helmets use basically a big single pixel LCD as the darkening, though I might be wrong.
Just a stupid little thought from the peanut gallery. Really sucks that they're out of production. Could do some pretty awesome things with them and "heads up displays" for sports/airsoft.
