light my way

BBC News has an article about a new discovery by researchers from University of Southern California, University of Michigan, and Princeton. Apparently researchers have developed a way to create OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) that are very energy efficient and long lasting. Not only that, but these OLEDs emit that good, clean, appealing (to me, at least) white light. The only drawback appears to be the fragility of the OLEDs themselves. The OLEDs are sensitive to moisture, and so a moisture protector would have to be created for them. Yet despite their fragility to moisture, OLEDs appear to be able to be slapped on to anything: glass, walls, tables, chairs (altho' I don't think I'd want the last one: electric chair, haha) because they're paper thin. If they are properly protected, I don't see why I wouldn't want to use them to provide more natural, white light to where I live.

ELECTRIC CHAIR! Oh Dave, you’re so punny. I just found your blog. I didn’t know you had one. Whee!
