Brighter Than Light Bulbs: Organic LEDs

04/19/2006 1:45 PM

A group of engineers and chemists have created an organic LED by combining two layers of phosphorescent diodes and one layer of a fluorescent diode. Together, they produce white light much more efficiently than current incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. Furthermore, because the organic layers are only 10 nm thick and transparent when turned off, these organic LEDs can be built into walls, furniture or even windows.

That, if it's true, is totally cool. But for utilization on walls and large surfaces how would you apply it, and what life expectancy could you expect?
