Glowing wall stickers

British engineers claim the glowing wall stickers can replace traditional light bulbs in the next 10 years.

Daily Mail said, LOMOX Ltd. - A Welsh-based company, developing a number of new materials that are able to glow when weak current flows.

Although the idea seems odd, but the Carbon Trust - an anti-climate change organization in the UK - decided to sponsor £ 454,000 (more than $ 635,000) for LOMOX Ltd to create glowing wall stickers.

If the glowing dark wall stickers appear in families, it could lead to the creation of many other special household items - such as glow curtains, color changing clothes.

In fact, glowing wall stickers are the latest application of organic light-emitting diodes - the technology is expected to revolutionize the screen of TVs, computers and mobile phones in a few. next year.

OLEDs are made up of organic molecular membranes. These membranes glow when electricity flows through molecules. Because OLEDs require only low voltage electric current - between 3 and 5 V - they can get electricity from batteries or solar panels. Because OLED exists in thin film form, users can curl or mount on the wall.

Ken Lacey, executive director of LOMOX Ltd, is trying to bring light-emitting films to the market in the next two years.

According to the Daily Mail, OLED lamps have been used for the past few years, but their cost is very high while life is short. In addition, people cannot use OLED in large screens. Lacey said that his company is developing cheaper and longer OLED types. When prices fall, companies will make thin, flexible screens that we can roll after watching or carrying everywhere. In addition, when mounted on a wall, an OLED can illuminate like a traditional light bulb but consumes 2-3 times less electricity.

Mark Williamson, director of the initiative of the Carbon Trust, said: "Electric balls are one of the sources of much carbon emissions. So emissions will be reduced if the OLED lamps are widely used around the world. ".

OLEDs are really creating a revolution in TV production. Unlike flat LCD screens, OLED displays do not require backlighting and are several millimeters thick. The white color of the OLED screen is brighter while the black is darker than the LCD screen. So the OLED screen image is sharper.
