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."
