Rohinni's Lightpaper Is Incredibly Thin, And Printable

[BulletSpongeRTR]

 

 

 

In its current state, Lightpaper is manufactured by mixing ink and tiny LEDs together and printing them out on a conductive layer. That object is then sandwiched between two other layers and sealed. The tiny diodes are about the size of a red blood cell, and randomly dispersed on the material. When current runs through the diodes, they light up.

 

 

 

 

The big problem with the product's current, version one, is how it places the LEDs when printed. Right now, they aren't distributed evenly on the printed surface. This can cause a shimmering, or starry night effect. Smoot explained that for a lot of applications, this won't matter, but the challenge being worked on currently is to get specific placement of the diodes—to produce completely even light. Not an insurmountable task, a second version of Lightpaper is likely a few months out.

 

Very interesting indeed, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of situations this will be utilized in first.

Emergency lighting something or other. Would be good for that.

Man, it'd be awesome if you could just buy a sheet of this and use it as a light box. Tracing would be so much easier.

I've seen that. It's not quite the same as the stuff they used for the suits in Tron: Legacy. The suits in the movie don't last very long because of the batteries though, only like an hour or something.
