Called OLED for Organic Light Emitting Diode – organic because they somehow use carbon and hydrogen (no organic farming here), the Philips people were displaying their version (Lumiblades) at 100% Design today. 

Philips OLEDs

These little dangly things are basically an ultra thin luminated panel. These ones are still in the early phases (sounded like prototypes even), but just think of the possibilities! Philips provided one idea in the top photo, cleverly using the latest technology to represent what’s practically a relic. I’m sure we’ll be seeing them everywhere soon…Sony has already come out with a OLED TV.

If you’re hungry for more, check out: Philips press release, Philips Lumiblade OLED, and OLED-info.com.
