A trial of strength? A mobile technology on the increase becoming a significant reality is now being challenged by exactly the opposite. While screen technologies are currently bringing forth the most gossamer screen types – perpetually implementing new resolution and colour standards, Innovation Lab now presents a novel screen type not conforming to this trend. It does however pave the way to a new world of unprecedented possibilities.
In co-operation with Christoffer Dupont, student of engineering; Line Langballe, student of architecture and Dalton Beton (a Danish manufacturer of concrete components), the Innovation Lab project team has developed the first screen of transparent concrete that the world has ever seen. A revolutionising screen type – a novel concept which will come to influence building industry, architecture, design and a vast array of business areas. The first firms of architects were already queuing up long before the manufacturing process had been completed. Innovation Lab therefore has great expectations to this creation and anticipates a massive influx of attention, national as international, cementing the significance of the see-through concrete screen...
The screen consists of concrete with embedded optical fibres, arranged as pixels, capable of transmitting natural as well as artificial light. The light-admission points are on the back of the screen where the fibres are positioned. The light, or the picture, will then be displayed in pixels on the front. The light source can be a projector emitting either pictures or film footage. In principle, the screen is capable of acting as a window since – owing to the combination of the screen concept's light-absorption and optical cables – it has a capacity for transmitting natural light.
New standards, new potential
With the see-through concrete screen we are forced to rethink our ways of production and communication in an infinite number of situations. Maybe we will soon have the choice between paper-thin electronic screens and solid walls directly displaying the revenue-generating ads. Maybe aesthetic qualities will now be challenged by building components with properties beyond hitherto known levels of functionalism and aestheticism.
The maxim IT in everything is now, with a fairly justified approximation, being juxtaposed with screens in everything: we have been witnessing the triumphant progress of the screen technology in several industries and materials – the textile industry representing one of the most revolutionising and best known examples. We bring our screens wherever we go, we wear them, and – before long – we will be able to walk on them.

2007 DMI Design and Design Management Performance Series
The 11th DMI European Design Management Conference
Improving and Measuring Design’s Role in Business Performance
14–16 March 2007 Copenhagen Marriott Hotel, Denmark
Business executives, design directors and design managers are asked more and more often to provide improvement and measurement of design and design management effectiveness, in order to achieve desired business results. How is this best accomplished? What criteria must be evaluated in order to improve? Are measurements subjective or objective? Is this based on customer satisfaction, emotion, time to market, innovation, return, new markets, process improvement, or social and environmental responsibility? DMI addressed these challenging questions at the 31st International Design Management Conference in the US, and will build upon this successful learning with further exploration at this European conference.
Businesses need to capture real value from their investments in design, therefore DMI has identified nine key categories to improve and measure design’s role in business success, which include:
With a portfolio of experts we will explore these categories in detail. The learning outcome: conference attendees will discover macro and micro tools and techniques, gain perspective, and become equipped to address this topic in your work on Monday morning, and in your work for years to come. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn.
