perhaps the incandescent light bulb has been sitting in its socket-shaped throne for too many years — GE thinks so, anyway. GE R&D guys have produced a machine that prints OLED materials newspaper-style onto 8-inch sheets of metal foil in hopes that the sheets — which can be pinned to just about any surface — will start the process of home lighting biz regime change in 2010. Picture, whether you will, wallpaper or window blinds that supply soft, diffused lighting for the living room after dark — no need for special fixtures, just a wall plug. OLED lighting isn’t yet cost-efficient for the average consumer, but GE hopes that will change soon. In the meantime, expect to see these sheets in a trip-out Flaming Lips concert in the somewhat-near future.
