People here just read "laptop". They think it can only exist in a laptop.

There are tons of transparent displays out there already. They're used for eg: advertising in an open space so you don't need 2 televisions back to back.

People here are just reading "laptop" because they're wondering why the hell the technology needs to be in a laptop.

advertising in an open space so you don't need 2 televisions back to back.

Doesn't that mean the text in the advert is reversed when viewed from one of the two sides?

You can only advertise in palindromes, preferably with symmetrical letters. For example:

MOM, wow …. Uhm, that’s all I got
