Once it becomes cheap enough, this might give a huge boost to indoor farming.

  Not being familiar with the area, what problem would this solve for indoor farming?

    At a guess, being able to easily augment sunlight in parts of the world that get few hours of sunlight during local winter. Sun shines through when it's there, LED takes over when not. However in practice I don't think this would be useful - they're considerably less efficient than existing LEDs (currently 1% vs 25-30%) and I think that efficiency is more of a problem than transparency.

      They aren't diodes either
