This is still in the developmenmt stage but it looks like it has some potential
There is nothing yet about how it is powered........but I am guessing that there is a metallic layer or 2 to distribute the power
I am guessing that if there is 2 metallic layers I am guessing that if we grounded one of the layers we could light this stuff wirelessly with a SEC or something similar.

Well, they are now making LED head lights for cars. Guess
you can do away with regular bulbs altogether now in cars.
This would be great for background and say hall lightings.
Just need to formulate the correct light frequencies so as
to mimic sunlight.

I bought a headlight for XC skiing, of course with LEDs. 3xAAA powered, 90 hours claimed at 29m floodlight. I can ski pretty decently with that light. Compared to a 25W halogen I once had, with a heavy battery that lasted 2 hours.
LEDs rock, would be nice if the wallpaper could offer "soft" lighting.
I think this wallpaper will open lots of doors if it works out .
from there it is just one step to paper thin video displays like you see in some scifi movies
For home lighting color balance would be a problem if you used it for large parts of the wall .........unlike light reflected off a wall .....if you had a green LED wall it would make everything in the room look green.
White LED paper on the ceiling would make very nice.....very soft light
I have not seen LED headlights .......are they commonly available yet?
I have been watching for brake lights that would work with my car it has 2 contacts on the ends and would have to have 2 brightness levels .......the single brightness level brake lights are very common .......

I was at the latest auto show and the lady there for Mazda
was talking about them. Mandatory for an all electric vehicle.
Head lights burn the juice.
