Polytron rolls out world's 1st transparent smartphone
February 9, 2013 - 16:23 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - Polytron has unveiled the world's first transparent smartphone, Digital Spy said.

The Taiwanese manufacturer showcased a prototype handset made almost entirely of glass, with only the circuit board, memory card and camera visible, Mobile Geeks reports.

The device features touchscreen technology and its SIM, SD card, battery, microphone and camera are all functional, but the model on show did not have an operating system on board.

Polytron is experimenting with a technology dubbed 'Polyvision Privacy Glass', an opaque substance that becomes see-through when an electric current passes through it.

The firm has also developed a technique for feeding microscopic wires into the glass, making them barely visible to the naked eye.

Polytron has revealed plans to release transparent hardware by the end of the year.
