Glass coatings enable futuristic digital displays


At the 2015 International CES, NSF-funded small business Sun Innovations demonstrated a special coating that transforms transparent surfaces--such as glass--into futuristic digital displays.

The prototype, based on a set of nanophosphors with highly fluorescent quantum efficiency, could potentially enable vehicle windshields or building windows to display electronic information while remaining otherwise transparent.
