Light Emitting Pictures On Standard Inkjet Printer

Posted by timothy on from the the-media-cost-is-where-they-getcha dept.

CrashRide writes: "This story on FOX states that UofA scientists have discovered a way to print light-emitting pictures on thin sheets of plastic using a standard inkjet printer. Fold up pocket monitors?" The article says that these scientists have produced "OLEDs of simple bands of light, a scorpion, the University of Arizona logo and even photographs of themselves."

  1. Not a fold-up monitor by Pulzar · · Score: 3, Flamebait

    This is just a poster that glows -- it's a static picture that glows using a low amount of electricity. Unless you're running Windows, and all you need to display is the same bsod, you'll need a more "dynamic" display :).

    You know what editor means? Someone who edits. For example, an editor might cut out stupid comments from a post, such as "Fold up pocket monitors?".

    Tomorrow's submission: "HP has developped a new ink that lasts longer. Fold up interactive e-books?"

    They that quote Benjamin Franklin on liberty and safety deserve neither.
  3. so what's the big news? by zentigger · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    Let's see, there was this article from back in september, and at least a couple others that I can't dig up right quick here. All of which were much more dynamic and advanced technologies. I'm pretty sure someone like mitsubishi has already developed a complete display using the same technology.

    How about another MP3 hardware hack instead, or wait...imagine a beowulf cluster...

    the above is my personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect that of the little voices in my head

  5. Is this software authentic? by rice_burners_suck · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I think Microsoft should include this innovative technology in their Certificates of Authenticity. Five years from now, Billy will claim that Microsoft invented the technology and then they can monopolize and squash the printing industry. This will be very good for the consumer, who will now have less choices and more Microsoft taxes on just about every product on the market, because just about every product involves printed materials. And this will keep the economy strong.

    (Yeah, Billy's economy that is.)

    Here's where Fox got the story from, for those that would rather avoid any contact with FOX and go straight to the source.

    Fox is pretty much the sleaze of the earth... kind of like what would become of an AOL/MSNBC/National Enquirer/Hustler mega-merger.

    This is the network that runs "NASA never got us on the moon" stories posing as news, just when special interest groups are lobbying Congress to privatize NASA and "open" space to responsible development (not).

    Fox is as important to the GOP (Republicans) as "the games" were to the Romans.
