Is that a "Pan Am" sign in the back?

Also, does the massive LED screen in the lobby of Comcast Center count?

Thank you for digging that up. Yes, this is what I was referring to! And, my big question is DOES THAT REALLY EXIST OR ARE ALL THOSE ANIMATED IMAGES ON CLEAR GLASS JUST A COMPUTER GRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT IN THE FILM?

The animations on the clear glass appear to be reflections from the LED screen from the building across the street. I know they're filming with cameras with filters the exaggerate the blue light. I'm pretty sure they're projecting images on to the glass in real life, as well as images being projected on later with CGI.

If you're asking are LED screens clear in real life? I'm never personally seen one up close so I couldn't tell you for sure. I'd think they would be just because you wouldn't want to block the view of one side of the building.

Tokyo (Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ginza) and Shanghai (Lujiazui, in Pudong) are the best I have ever personally witnessed. Completely in a league of their own.

This is probably the best example I've seen yet. A large LED and steel wire mesh temporary construction facade in Plaza Duomo in Milan, Italy. You can see images clearly during the daytime, and you can see through the mesh.

Here's a moving glass facade in France. Watch how the moving glass bounces light on to the adjacent surfaces.
