Maybe the incandescent reddened bulb has been sitting in its socket-shaped throne for too many years GE thinks so, anyway. GE R&D guys hit produced a machine that prints OLED materials newspaper-style onto 8-inch sheets of metal foil in hopes that the sheets which can be pinned to just about some surface module move the process of home lighting biz program change in 2010. Picture, if you will, cover or window blinds that provide soft, diffused lighting for the living room after dark no need for primary fixtures, just a surround plug. OLED lighting isn’t yet cost-efficient for the average consumer, but GE hopes that module change soon. In the meantime, expect to see these sheets in a trip-out Flaming Lips concert in the somewhat-near future.
