Pixels everywhere

This fits with the vision of pixels everywhere and web ads being displayed through them.

The World becomes the Web and this also provides for companies like Google a huge opportunity.

Tiles made of pixels, pixtiles if you will.

Nice product. Too bad it's not a little thinner.

If they could thin this product down, it could be used as a backlight in LCD monitors.

If they could thin it down a little more they could use it to repair LCD monitors or TVs that have had the backlights break down. 1/8" is a little thick for that, although removing a few of the dispersion layers from the panels might allow for enough room.

Just think of all the panels that could be rescued from the landfills...

Sheets-Of-Light

Cool!

color is very blue

A quick look at the specs for these things suggests that they're a long way from home lighting. Their color temperature is a very very cool bluish-white, 7500 K. (In comparison, the mid-day sun is a blue-white 6500 K, a flash is a cool white 5500 , and a standard lightbulb is an orange-yellow 2800 K.) Their web site also has no information about spectrum or color rendering index (CRI). It's likely that colors under this light would look cold and washed out. Best to keep it as advertising on the sides of buses until a few more breakthroughs...!

Reminds me of the movie Bladerunner, where every surface was an advertisement.

Does this use less electrictiy, last longer, have any unique value, besides the ability to jump up and down on it?
