Thin, Flat LEDs
An anonymous reader writes "Here's a story about how a company called OMRON has developed a totally flat light source which might give traditional LED's a run for their money." And reader ekarjala points to an article in the EE Times about thin, organic LEDs.
It seems they put all their money towards the R&D for these neat sounding devices. Too bad they didn't save a few bucks FOR THE BANDWIDTH TO HOST THEIR SERVER!
Trolling is a art,
wouldn't that be 2-dimensional? what is this, star trek?

Nowhere on that page does it mention flat LEDs!
Trolling is a art,
At extreme viewing angles, the damn thing just disappears.

I think it may be too late for us geeks to be directly exposed to sunlight, the day we feel content to walk among men is over. The Light!!!
Putting the IT in SH**
... the "flat light source" will be positioned to realize future unrestricted illumination such as "wall-mounted light" and "portable light." ...
Wow, science never ceases to amaze me! Maybe next, they'll find a way to put lights on the ceiling, too, and, OOOH! Maybe attach a fan to it, to increase air circulation in my house! I'll have to see if Omron is developing a "flat fan technology" to make this possible.
Money I owe, money-iy-ay
Just wait till the case modders get ahold of these. I can only imagine the attrocities..

Did anyone else read that post as "Here's a story about how a company called MORON has developed a totally flat light source"
and I'm thinking Holy Crap their marketing team has a tough road ahead
OOO yeah! And 802.11b for access from my PDA! And X10 so I can turn on my lights using my Garage opener...finally a use for the other two buttons on my sunvisor!
Um, it's a light. On, off and dim are pretty much the limit of what 99.999999% of the world wants. That other .000001% can't get laid and thus don't NEED mood lighting.

I'm gonna buy a bunch of these flat leds and fashion them onto clothes. Stay with me. Then I write this program that lets the owner "wear" photos made by the leds. Give it to the girlfriend to wear, load the Jessica Alba module....then BAM. She looks like Jessica Alba all the time. Atleast from the face down, but thats all that really counts anyway. heh heh.
