The Transparent LCD is an LCD Panels that can be built on large and small grids. It is part of the paid "Decorative Blocks Pack #2" DLC and you can only build it if you have purchased the DLC.

The Transparent LCD is 1x1x1 blocks in size and looks like a framed window that displays images and text. For LCD configuration and usage, see LCD Surface Options. For alternative blocks, see LCD Panels.

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.
