Napster has unveiled a new Napster Station product, an AI Kiosk, powered by a transparent microLED display, produced by AUO. It's not clear whether this is just a concept, or whether Napster actually aims to commercialize this soon.

The kiosk was developed by China-based faytech Tech, an interactive display solution developer. The main idea is that this kiosk can transform concierge service and commerce, with use cases in retail, hospitality, transportation, healthcare and more. Users can engage with a library of domain-specific AI Companions through real-time video interactions, moving beyond traditional text chat and democratizing access to expertise for users worldwide.

In early 2025, Samsung demonstrated a prototype microLED smart mirror device, that utilizes AI to scan your face and recommend treatment solutions to tailor your skin. Today Samsung Electronics announced that it is set to release this device as an actual product.

Samsung aims to grow the AI beauty mirror not as a single product but as a "K-beauty data platform", building an ecosystem that connects skin diagnosis to product recommendations. Samsung's first partners are Amorepacific, Kolmar Korea, Olive Young, and Twiinnet. Last year it collaborated with Innisfree, which will likely be a partner too.

Peugeot has unveiled a new concept car, called the Polygon Concept car, that showcases several new technologies - including several microLED displays.

First of all, behind the innovative new Hypersquare steering wheel, Peugeot placed a transparent microLED display embedded within the windshield. This display is 24x74cm, or similar to a 31-inch display. Interestingly, the display is visible also from outside the car, which enables animations to be displayed to outside viewers when the car is stationary.

Tianma says it has made a significant breakthrough in its transparent microLED display technology, and the company demonstrated several transparent microLED displays at a tradeshow in China with sizes up to 9" and with adjustable transparency. 

Unfortunately we do not have any more details about these new prototypes, but it is understood that Tianma is targeting the automotive market for these new displays.
