Spreadable OLED TVs to power themselves

Not satisfied with a future vision that already includes flexible screens and wafer-thin phones, a pair of Japanese companies has pushed the envelope to come up with far-fetched gadgets that do all of the above without ever going near a power socket.

The key to the work by Mitsubishi Chemical and Sumitomo Chemical lies in so-called spreadable electronics – liquids containing molecules of the type used in OLED screens.

Just having a laugh.

With regards to powering itself, that's a possibility, there's plenty of 'free' radiation floating around. Look up crystal radios for example (yeah, primitive stuff really though).

sounds cool.. i can see this used by advertisers to make any space be available to them with just a little paste... though i wonder if clean up is messy..

i'm kinda excited to see this.. sounds really cool.. i mean if it truely works.. maybe we can get rid of PROJECTORS and just apply paste to our walls and have out very own big screens without worrying about setup or someone blocking the light. Though i'm sure this way would need to have external power unless you live in a glass house.

Also 1 question arises in my mind. How do they tell this SPREADABLE FILM what to display? i can guess that the solar panel part is easy cause your just collecting electricity and storing it but to actually display something is beyond me.. (that is without having to have something external attached to it. Though i can see this on cell phones displaying the time or possibly how much battery you have left before you need to go outside for some sunlight..
