Wearable electronic displays, the big thing in fashion, and lightingOLED’s are not a novelty for some time, but we haven’t seen what they promised us in the first place: flexible displays, that can be rolled like paper, allowing for easy transportation and which can be installed virtually anywhere. But that’s about to change, as a consortium consisting of nine universities and two companies joined in a three years project to research wearable displays.

Their budget is just 1.700.000 $, but maybe they can cut some corners and come up with an idea. Basically they want to produce a material capable that can be applied to various surfaces, which can sustain two functions: displaying informations of just lighting homes like a bulb, but in a more efficient manner. This initiative is meant to reduce energy costs, which will in turn result in less pollution and global warming effect. I just hope they succeed, but I’m not too keen about the wearable part of their goal.
