technologyreview.com — Long-lasting near-infrared LEDs could be used to make cheap, flexible night-vision displays and sensors. Such a display could be integrated into a soldier's uniform or a device that could be stashed in a pocket, allowing soldiers to read communications at night without being spotted by enemy snipers.

Did anyone else instantly think "Wii" when they saw this?You could have clear, IR emitting film that just lays over TV screen. No more sensor bar, the IR apparatus for the Wii mote would be basically invisible, probably emit more and farther to provide more robust tracking? Probably could work for a lot of other mouse like devices with media centers and stuff.

OLED lifetimes have increased dramatically and are incorperated into cellphones and mp3 players at the moment. As the chemistry becomes more understood they will make their way to even televisions. There are labs that have perfected chemistries in the TV range but it takes years to actually incorporate them into usable products. It's one thing to make a lab sized test tube of OLED precursors it's quite another to make them on an industrial scale.

Hi, obviously you can't read, otherwise you would have seen what I had written above regarding "two seperate points" on a screen.So I guess yer kinda dumb. And now blocked.
