(Forgive me, I live on the outskirts of a backwater town.) I've heard about it but only recently decided to check it out. Makes you wonder how long it'll take to get the refresh rate going at normal speeds. As fast as humanity is coming out with new technology, I give it about... 5-10 years for large screens that can run at 75 Hertz refresh rate. Hell, by then we might have prototype holographic technology out, if we don't already. And why not? We already have virtual reality (somewhat) and it's improving quickly.

And as you say, even with a very slow refresh rate it would still prove to be immensely valuable. Now we just have to wait until it gets mass produced. @Timps, yeah it really is pretty revolutionary.

I've been excited about this since the first time I saw a demonstration. I love the concept that it requires no power to maintain the image, only to update. Even if it takes minutes to update, this will instantly sell worldwide. Change your wallpaper or a hanging picture on the wall. Nice find.

I've always secretly wished that I could be on the ground floor of one of these breakthroughs. I have a feeling I'll be stuck on the sidelines just talking about them for a bit longer. @Jason, sounds like interesting work.

I do research in a closely related field: organic photovoltaics. The devices are physically very similar, so the mass-production technologies that can be applied to OLEDs can easily translate to OPVs. Imagine wearing a jacket heated by solar cells. Suddenly Minnesota winters become a lot more bearable. This breakthrough is very exciting to me. I do research in a closely related field: organic photovoltaics.

Who needs more advertising? The flip side is that those of us more creative could make interesting designs on hats, for instance, or download them. It could be like a myspace page on your chest, for better or worse. ~J Good point. Who needs more advertising?

I'm not too sure about how cool that would be. Especially if you ever 'went to commercial.' The idea of having screens everywhere is great, as long as you dictate what's on them and it isn't just another means for advertising taking up even more space. @Eliaja, I never thought about it but I’m sure they could be adapted for clothing.

The possibilities could be endless. Imagine being able to turn just about anything you interact with into a TV screen. So cool. Could this stuff be used as clothing?
