Planar’s Transparent and Segment Electroluminescent “TASEL” Displays

It’s rare that I get pitches from electronics components vendors and even more rare for me to post them, but these “TASEL” displays from Planar have some nifty potential uses. They’re transparent, for one, but can also be crafted in curved shapes. You could even drill through the glass for mounting.

Bear in mind, these aren’t LCD replacements. The electroluminescent markings can be turned on and off, actually quite a bit like old LCD displays like those in watches or cheap handheld games. But by breaking up the EL segments and controlling them properly, it would still be easy to make gauges and other useful widgets.

Anyway, if you’re building a new skyscraper or the world’s most space aged Barcalounger or something, use one of these panels.
