Flexible OLED Technology
Universal Display Corporation’s FOLED® flexible OLEDs are organic light emitting devices that are built on flexible substrates such as plastic or metallic foil. FOLED displays can offer significant performance advantages over LCD displays that are typically built on rigid glass substrates and contain a bulky backlight.
FOLEDs are thinner and lighter weight than other displays. This means that cell phones, portable computers, wall-mounted televisions and other products that use them can also be lighter and smaller.
FOLEDs can also be more durable - less breakable and more impact resistant - than other displays.
It is built on optically-clear plastic films and thin, bendable metallic foils are currently under development at Universal Display Corporation. Such displays may be made to bend, flex and conform to many surfaces. For example, FOLEDs may someday be found affixed to curved helmet face shields, shirtsleeve cuffs and automotive instrument panels.
Boston LED Terrorism Scare
There was a terrorism scare in Boston today — strange devices were found all over the city. The bomb squad came and detonated one of them, and removed the others. Turns out the devides are part of a guerrilla marketing campaign for [Cartoon Network’s] “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.” The devices are little LED Moominites.
Some media mention that or Graffiti Research Lab have some connection with this but Phil Torrone told that they didn’t have anything to do with it, although they wish they had.
You may have heard about the most recent terror attacks in Boston. This is NOT the work of the Graffiti Research Lab. We just downloaded this link from youtube. It’s Just more mindless corporate vandalism from a guerilla marketer who got busted. Interference Inc, welcome to the world of being misunderstood, scapegoated, demonized and wanted by the law. Still want to be a graffiti artist?

Aquarium Toilet Tank
The Fish ‘n Flush is a clear two-piece toilet tank that replaces a standard toilet tank, with a see-through aquarium wrapping itself around a conventional toilet tank.
“We wanted to develop a product that had a dual purpose - to serve as a proper, fully functional toilet and also as a source of entertainment and conversation,” said Devon Niccole, marketing director of California-based designer AquaOne Technologies Inc. which has just started to selling the tank.
He said the company, which specializes in water conservation equipment for home appliance, had worked with a marine biologist to design a tank that ensured the fish were not harmed when the toilet was flushed.

PicoLED: The World Smallest LED
ROHM has recently completed development of an ultra-compact LED featuring both the smallest volume and area in the world. The SML-P12 series (PicoLEDTM) is ideally suited for devices requiring thin, compact components, such as mobile phone keypads, small dot-matrix units, and compact seven-segment display devices. PicoLED has been announced two days ago and it will go into mass production in April.
The company aim to create 10 million of the tiny 1.0 x 0.8mm diodes every single month. Currently, the smallest LED is one that measures 1.6 x 0.8mm. Both LEDs are only 0.2mm thick. If you happen to be an electronics giant then you can get a sample this month only for 100 yen each.
A full lineup is available in a variety of colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and white, and all of the light-emitting elements are of the high-reliability four-element (InGaAlP) or high-luminosity (InGaN) type, ensuring continuous, long-term, reliable operation.:: Via Plastic Bamboo

SkyCeilings: Authentic Sky Illusions
Utilize patent-pending ‘elevators’ - aluminum frames that raise the image tiles above the flat bottom of the ceiling grid, giving SkyCeiling structures a 3-dimensional, architectural presence, like a real skylight.
Luminous SkyCeilings include one of two lighting systems: 6500K, T-5 fluorescents, or; 6000K, RFfreeLux™ LED lighting for MRI, and other shielded environments. Both systems provide daylight-balanced light (the same light used to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder) for rich color rendition and recognition as “natural” daylight.
SkyCeilings feature proprietary, high-resolution photography, that provides a stunning 3-dimensional experience when used in concert with SkyCeilings lighting and elevators. You are able to display hundreds of beautiful images of real skies, clouds, trees, foliage, and blossoms to choose from.

Glass tile floor from ThinkGlass
The mere thought of walking on a glass floor may seem daunting, but a glass tile floor from ThinkGlass will make walking on glass an activity that everyone will want to experience. The addition of a glass tile floor will bring a sense of openness and light into any space. It can serve as a structural element that is anti-skid and very resistant to impact, making it a safe alternative to traditional opaque flooring products. The unique molding process utilized by ThinkGlass allows for the possibility of creating new or repetitive textures for a very low cost and enables the production of filled glass slabs that are unconstrained by thickness requirements. These factors create a myriad of design opportunities, providing products for diverse applications, including copper plated glass tiles that add an exquisite metallic spark, floor tiles that incorporate LED lighting to create a warm glow underfoot, or fused glass in a variety of textures.
