OLED Wall Sized TV And Flat Lighting
I predict that within within 5 years the first prototype, wall sized flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) TV's will be on the market. Not long after that, the price will go down as manufacturing goes up. There are currently 3 companies I know of that are competitors in the OLED market, and which are all making the first types of small OLED TV's now in 2008. Which will make the price fall soon due to competition also. As it becomes cheaper then you will have poster-like TV's that you just pin up to the wall. They are extremely energy efficient and also have the best picture quality ever invented with millions to one contrast ratio.(Search: "OLED" on google news).
Also the potential exists to make flat ceiling lights that have white OLED's or just a mixture of colors that combine into imitation white. These would be mass produced even cheaper than modern LED's because of simpler manufacturing processes. And they will lower in price also due to new manufacturing processes and competition in the market.
This form of lighting a house will be the most efficient form ever, if it happens, because LED's are about 90% efficient at converting electricity into light. This will cut down on energy bills so much that you could power them with a 100$ solar panel and a small 50$ battery pack for overnight usage.
As long as the OLED materials technology advances, which it will because so many companies are throwing money at this research, then we should see this technology more and more in the news for 5 years until the technology is very affordable.
