Printable Light Could Be a Gamechanger for Energy Consumption

Greetings,

Printable Light Could Be a Gamechanger for Energy Consumption

by TechSwarm

Dubbed “Lightpaper,” LED diodes the size of a red blood cell offer the promise of printable flexible light that could do away with the much higher consumption standard lightbulb, as well as offer an array of other uses that seem only to be limited by our imagination.

A range of printable electronics already have been made possible in large part through advances in nanotechnology, which has seen the market expand at an exponential rate over the past several years, and is projected to hit $40 billion by 2020. Coupled with heightened interest in wearable technology that continues to be miniaturized, it would seem that we are seeing an emerging paradigm shift in the way we will be managing our home and personal environment. In fact, there is perhaps nothing more paradigm altering than the replacement of the iconic lightbulb.

And while a reduction in the cost of energy consumption might be the first logical benefit, it also enables people who currently are not attached to a grid, those who feel they are being cheated by said attachment to the grid, or just philosophically wish to live a completely off-the-grid lifestyle to imagine a whole new world opening up where they have the option to decouple from such restrictions.

After viewing the press video below presented by the principal development company, Rohinni, let us know your thoughts about what impact this is likely to have as we move our way through the 21st Century.

Here is also an additional video offering a deeper discussion of the overall market outlook for printable electronics:
