Is that a photograph inside a transparent frame?
No, it's a PC screen.
It has become normal to use PCs at home, but should PCs used at home be the same as the ones used at work?
There must be a shape appropriate to PCs that have entered our private living space and become a significant partner in our lives.
Maybe PCs at home shouldn’t look so obviously placed or exert so much presence. The new VAIO L was designed to look as if it is floating.
The frame of the VAIO L, which looks like a photo frame, is entirely
transparent so that it will blend right into any living space and create the impression of a floating screen.
We strived to eliminate the monitor’s presence, and eliminate any eyesores so that you can concentrate on the content of the screen.
The dotted exterior frame functions as the speaker, microphone, and remote command sensor, while eliminating their visual presence. While functions are great, we felt they should refrain from creating visual noise around the screen.
We also produced the entire monitor, even the back, in the same color, so that it would look beautiful from any angle.
For the 15.4” Wide model, we used a transparent ink circuit,
which has electrostatic characteristics, to make even the control
buttons transparent.
The 19” Wide model can be hung on the wall.
The VAIO L series has proposed the “Panel PC” as the new shape for the home PC. We want to create PCs that are comfortable to use and look beautiful in any space. The evolution of the Panel PC design will continue.
