If you could see through your computer screen, wouldn’t that be wonderful? No? If so, you’re obviously not thinking like Mravipro. As YouTube creators, they consistently produce content to demonstrate to the public that creating things isn’t as difficult and unpleasant as we think it is.
They faced a challenging situation in one of their most recent episodes. In order to turn an LCD TV into a transparent display, they made the decision to disassemble it. They (and possibly us) would have a lot of fun if they were successful. Check out what they find, shall we?
Initially, the fundamental idea underlying an LCD TV is that light and color are produced by a combination of liquid crystals (LCD) and light-emitting diodes (LED). They are set up in an assortment of rows and columns to form the display. To cut down on glare and offer a vibrant, rich viewing experience, various films are employed. MRAVIPRO now wants to create an interactive viewing experience by using the LCD and any electronic components that power it. They believe that by removing the antiglare and polarizing coating from the LCD panel’s back, they will be able to look totally through the screen while still being able to view images and videos.
Separate the LCD from everything

As one might anticipate, the project begins with the couple attempting to unravel the riddle of the concealed fasteners. It would be crucial to release plastic clips and separate adhesive binds without damaging the screens or electrical connections. Evan finally succeeds after what must have felt like an eternity of poking and prodding with both standard and unusual equipment!
The two succeed in removing the foam that keeps the LCD linked to the rest of the TV with the help of a few guitar picks and bits of plastic. By removing all of the tape and disconnecting the circuits, they gradually detach the LCD.
MRAVIPRO decided to reconnect the circuits and turn on the LCD display as a mental health check to verify whether everything was still in working order. Voila! The splendor of LCD color came to life.
Monitor Screen Remove Filter
The next challenge is to take off the film sheet that is attached to the LCD’s back after it has been safely detached. The film serves as a filter to distribute the light that would typically come from the LEDs in an even manner. A clear view through the panel would be made available by removing the film backing and the LED component.
To do this, they placed some moist paper towels on top of the film sheet in order to saturate the glue or remove static electricity. MRAVIPRO performed the honors and started carefully removing the film after approximately an hour. The filter started to rip since it had not been given enough time to fully release. Nonetheless, the film-free areas were as lovely and brilliant as hoped for! MRAVIPRO decided to simply yank the remainder of the filter off after some success.
Monitor frame-making process
The two troublemakers built a new housing for unfiltered LCD after effectively destroying the old display housing. They chose to build the new frame and foundation out of wood to keep the build relatively straightforward. The bespoke frame with an integrated base, the LCD’s new home, was finished by MRAVIPRO after a cute build montage demonstrating their woodworking equipment and skills!
The TV electronics needed to be attached to the base, and that was all. Evan demonstrated his talent as a craftsman by precisely removing the proper amount and form of wood. The electronics were then snugly fixed inside the hardwood foundation beneath the Display with a few strategically placed screws.
Let’s continue it now.
If the LCD didn’t truly function, all of this effort would be for nothing. Thankfully, it does! MRAVIPRO can see Evan on the opposite side of the screen with ease thanks to some additional illumination in the background. One of the few advantages of having a transparent screen is that she uses her newly discovered abilities to Photoshop some bizarre haircuts and tattoos onto her boyfriend.
The main disadvantage of a transparent LCD is that it nearly always requires some sort of lighting on one side to see what is on the screen. As MRAVIPRO has demonstrated in their studio and yard, respectively, conventional lighting and even natural sunlight allow you to view the screen perfectly.
The YouTube channel of MRAVIPRO demonstrates that all it takes to develop something is a healthy dose of initiative and curiosity—not the best or even the most knowledgeable person in the world.
