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."

  4. Print Preview by jesser · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does that mean the Mozilla team doesn't have to fix bug 2586, "Print Preview animates GIFs"? Here's the original bug report:

    In Print Preview, animated GIFs are still animated. I would love to say
    that it is not a bug, but unless the printing code can then back the
    preview up by animating the printed copy, I suggest the Print Preview
    should show a static image.

    This also applies to applets, Javascript, "hover" and "active" pseudo
    classes, and so on.
