Fun fact: Transparent electronics are a thing because prisons require radios, TV, etc to be able to be seen inside and companies later realised they looked cool.
Why did they end up deciding it's not cool or worth doing anymore?
The marketing team realized that society isn't cool enough to buy enough of them to reliably profit off it.

The prisoners are just there to satisfy the funding.
I thought they'd also test the moulds with clear plastic so it was obvious if there were internal defects due to things like poor flow into part of the mould
