Looks like it's always a little bit transparent even when it should be a solid color. And that means it's not going to stand toe to toe with a regular TV for regular TV stuff. So... It's hard to imagine a super solid application for this other than maybe decorative pieces in airports or hotel lobbies or something.

It'll be used for ads. Really intrusive ads... They could put it anywhere (stadiums, sight seeing places etc) since it is transparent but like once every minute, display an ad.

I could see it being useful for dynamic, informative signs like you said in airports. Having transparency could be actually useful, maybe not just a total gimmick, in some areas I'm sure.

Or maybe it's just another useless, overpriced concept piece that we won't see for another 20 years
