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."

    So I can run my $72 photo inkjet with an $800 print cartridge!

    This is the Gilette model: "Give 'em razors, charge for blades!"

    How about getting drywall presprayed with this stuff? Then you just run a small wire down to your light switch and the ceiling (or all the walls) light up. Power usage down, no need for lamps!


    And most importantly, it'll look like those cool futuristic movies from the 1960s!
