Morphology

screenless = screen (semi-transparent) = screen + less

The negation is clear, but the specialized screening sense is less immediately accessible than the ordinary screen noun.

Etymology

Screenless uses screen in the sense of 'to check' or 'examine' and -less, meaning 'without'. So a screenless applicant, bag, or piece of information is one that has not been checked or tested, which can be risky for safety or quality.
