Vision of the Future

31 03 2007

I have been expecting OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) to come along pretty soon to make OLED walls for instance where the whole wall is a “screen”. They are in phones and on shirts now. But I just had a vision with the help of the Focuso work I have been doing…

In naming a series of Focuso pictures I imagined them as everyday objects but with OLED on them to make them glow and seem interesting. Now, OLED will bring us information too but it can be just used as a light – and will probably replace our lights at least general room and space lighting lights in the next five years.

In naming or associating or connecting, I am inventing – it kind of came by accident initially – but by watching out for invention… I realized, hey – cool!

So.. you can see the pictures with their titles and see if you too have a vision. I am running the contest too – the pictures can be seen in part here and eventually in full here:

But the vision is more important than the contest – please come and visit.

And, take the TAPOLL predict-a-poll on the issue to see what area you think OLED will affect most (just the expected locations here) – it is posted on the Tapoll Tech Blog:
