  2. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    An object may be not transparent either because it reflects the incoming light or because it absorbs the incoming light. Almost all solids reflect a part and absorb a part of the incoming light. When light falls onto a block of metal , it encounters atoms that are tightly packed in a regular lattice and a " sea of electrons " moving randomly ...

  3. See-through display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See-through_display

    Unlike transparent LCDs and OLEDs that requires integrated electronic modules to process visual signals or emit their own light, a passive transparent display uses a projector as the external light source to project images and videos onto a transparent medium embedded with resonance nanoparticles that selectively scatter the projected light. [21]

  4. Light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light

    If the beam of light is not orthogonal (or rather normal) to the boundary, the change in wavelength results in a change in the direction of the beam. This change of direction is known as refraction. The refractive quality of lenses is frequently used to manipulate light in order to change the apparent size of images.

    In real life, Hoffmann, a former child actress, is the mom of Rosemary, 1. And given her long history in Hollywood, she, like Light, is deeply appreciative of her "Transparent" role -- not the ...

  6. MicroLED - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroLED

    MicroLED offers greatly reduced energy requirements when compared to conventional LCD displays while also offering pixel-level light control and a high contrast ratio. [7] [8] The inorganic nature of microLEDs gives them a longer lifetime advantage over OLEDs and allows them to display brighter images with minimal risk of screen burn-in. [7]

  7. Optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics

    Light reflected by shiny transparent materials is partly or fully polarised, except when the light is normal (perpendicular) to the surface. It was this effect that allowed the mathematician Étienne-Louis Malus to make the measurements that allowed for his development of the first mathematical models for polarised light.

  8. Camera obscura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura

    Evidence that light and color do not mingle in air or (other) transparent bodies is (found in) the fact that, when several candles are at various distinct locations in the same area, and when they all face an aperture that opens into a dark recess, and when there is a white wall or (other white) opaque body in the dark recess facing that ...

  9. Transparency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency

    Transparency, transparence or transparent most often refer to: Transparency (optics) , transmitting light (Note: Many of the articles listed below use "transparency" metaphorically, meaning that everything is visible, nothing is hidden.)
