We've seen wallpaper that emits lights before, but it wasn't as captivating as the OLED wallpaper by General Electric! This opens up a whole new level of modern design, and by the looks of it, these stick on lights wouldn't be restricted to the walls, but could be applied to any flat surface, like a coffee table or a kids toy box!
"GE managed to find a way to allow OLED's to be printed on to very thin surfaces," Gadgetastic says. "Efficiency is also key here with GE looking in to making the OLED's a better option. The industry benchmark for this type of stuff is 15 lumens per watt (lm/W) and GE have managed to achieve 30lm/W. The target GE have is getting them to 100 lumens/W."
