phones don’t really have a design problem that can be solved with transparency other than a gimmick.

However being able to integrate the battery and the display into the same structural element opens design options for other applications e.g. smart glasses.

It also can be used for other applications such as say UV/IR spectrum solar panels with the battery integrated into them which could be made into a drop in window or structural glass for architecture or for automotive applications for example.




Almost none of the recent changes in phones have been real problems. Gimmicks sell phones.
