Korean researchers have developed a kind of transparent memory which will be used for building some transparent gadgets. Transparent memory chips will be very useful for building spy gadgets such as a transparent camera embedded in sunglasses, or some electronic components used in car windshields.
The transparent memory is called TRRAM (Transparent Resistive Random Access Memory), which is almost fully transparent and it functions just like the normal non-transparent chips. This type of transparent memory can be integrated into any electronic circuits. Imagine if a cellphone has transparent guts, it’s even possible to make a cellphone to be completely transparent, which can then be integrated into some garments to be worn by the users.
But there might be some problems faced by the manufacturers that make transparent gadgets. Such as some transparent chips could be lost easily or it’s definitely hard to handle soldering of these transparent components onto the circuit board. Anyway, the first device that will use these transparent chips would only appear no sooner than after 3 – 4 years.
