A viewscreen, also known as a holoscreen, was a device for displaying images or information for the view of an audience.[source?] The main component of a viewscreen was the alloy transparisteel, which was made of the mineral lommite.[1]
The Trade Federation used rippling circular viewscreens aboard its Lucrehulk-class battleships.[2] Darth Vader Force choked Admiral Kendal Ozzel at a great distance while seeing him through a viewscreen.[3] Pentagonal viewscreens were common in the Galactic Empire, as exemplified by those aboard the first[4] and second Death Star,[5] aboard the the Super Star Destroyer Executor,[3] and in the shield generator bunker on Endor.[5]
