Abstract

A transparent emissive device is provided. The device may include one or more OLEDs having an anode, a cathode, and an organic emissive layer disposed between the anode and the cathode. In some configurations, the OLEDs may be non-transparent. The device may also include one or more locally transparent regions, which, in combination with the non-transparent OLEDs, provides an overall device transparency of 5% or more.

Claims (8)

1. A method comprising:

obtaining a first transparent display, the first transparent display comprising a first plurality of sub-regions, each of which is at least 5% transparent and does not emit light;

obtaining a second transparent display, the second transparent display comprising a second plurality of sub-regions, each of which is at least 5% transparent and does not emit light; and

coupling the first transparent display to the second transparent display, wherein, when the first transparent display is coupled to the second transparent display, each of the first plurality of sub-regions aligns at least partially with at least one of the second plurality of sub-regions.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising aligning the first transparent display to the second transparent display based upon the overall transparency of the resulting arrangement formed when the first transparent display is coupled to the second transparent display.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the alignment is selected to maximize the overall transparency of the resulting arrangement.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the alignment is selected to result in an overall transparency above a threshold value.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the threshold is at least 5%.
