LG Display, an independent sister company to LG Electronics, has more prototypes to showcase at CES 2022. The standout concept is called the OLED Shelf, a stack of two 55-inch transparent OLED screens and topped by a shelf. The prototype is designed for ideas like displaying artwork at the top, with the description taking up the bottom half. When turned off, you can see the objects behind the screen (like actual paintings). It also comes with a sheet of opaque material that rolls down like a shade, so the transparent display is more like your typical OLED.

After company's like Intel, Lenovo, Amazon, and more pulled out of the Consumer Electronics Show, Google is the latest tech brand that announced it won't have an on-site presence at CES 2022.

This XPG concept mouse can store games in a built-in SSD

Gaming accessory company XPG is exploring the idea of turning a gaming mouse into something more than that. The XPG Vault Gaming Mouse is a wired USB-C mouse equipped with a high-speed SSD drive to offer you a "gaming library in the palm of your hand." This concept mouse supports up to 1TB of memory that can run at a speedy 985 MB/s. XPG's Prime Software Ecosystem app controls this storage.

While it looks like your typical, unassuming mouse, it would need a stout, sturdy USB-C cable to run. But as Engadget pointed out, this high-speed storage frees up a USB slot usually taken up by a wired mouse. XPG didn't share anything else about the mouse's specs. But it is a prototype, so we aren't too surprised about that.
