Transparent, Multitouch Display by AUO

Every geek has always dreamed of having a HUD for their car windshield, well this idea might start actually rolling into motion! This year at Display Taiwan 2010 AUO decided to show off their new technology they recently put into development. This technology was a full multitouch transparent display, the prototype they had on display was 2.4 inches and they are expecting to have a 7 inch model released sometime next year it seems that the screen they demonstrated this on would be ideal for cellular phones however according to them right now their focus is integrating it with GPS devices. Hopefully sometime in 2011 we can expect something like this for your windshield (just a hope they didn’t make any announcements for items like this). By the look of this screen, it looks like pretty high quality and this is really exciting for the future, a lot of possibilities with an item like this.

By the way just throwing this out there, and I could be wrong, if I remember correctly some time last year or the year before I believe Apple placed a patent on technology exactly like this or similar to this, so I’m curious to see how this plays out if this is the case and the technology catches on!
