double-sided double-backlit screens

THE SOLUTION

An aha moment i had when the iphone 3Gs came out and everyone complained about the lack of a physical keyboard. Even though we're pretty much over that and physical keyboards are on their way out, i still feel it would be cool to have a screen with two active sides. LCDs and oLEDs are transparent by nature, they just need a backlight to make them visible. if you can make a transparent backlight and put one on either side, then you can have a double-sided display. I drew up an idea in Blender, a free 3d software that i have learned for the past few years.
