Interesting OLED article: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/10/10/sheets.of.light.oleds.ap/index.html

In the next step, GE plans to build a larger machine that can print panels several feet wide. Its output could be sold commercially as early as 2010, Duggal said, but he acknowledged that's a "very aggressive" goal." ... Looking ahead a few more years, printing could reduce the cost of OLEDs to little more than the cost of the stuff it's printed on, said Janice Mahon, vice president of technology commercialization at Universal Display Corp. in Ewing, New Jersey. The company is a leader in OLED research, and develops some of the organic compounds, which are akin to the dyes used to color clothes. If printed on metal foil, the cost of an OLED light could be less than a dollar per square foot, Mahon said." ---------- One gleans from the article that there are still a few bugs to work out both technologically and in the conservative marketing arena. It won't be cheap, initially. But in the longer run...perhaps. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
