The Transparent LCD is an LCD Panel. You can build it only if you have purchased the Decorative Pack 2 DLC. For alternative blocks, see LCD Panels.

Usage

This LCD panel looks like a framed window that displays images and text. For LCD configuration and usage, see LCD Surface Options.

In contrast to other LCD Panels, it has no opaque backside. What is special about the Transparent LCD is that if you set the background color to black, it basically becomes a transparent window with a built-in display, which makes it ideal to construct transparent cockpit window HUDs, or it can be used simply as cosmetic decoration.

Construction

The Transparent LCD takes up one side of a 1x1x1 block space and can be built on large and small grids.
