Samsung’s OLED “light-up” ePassport
We never got our hologram future, but this seems to be the closest thing. I’m not sure what problem this is trying to solve, but it’s pretty damn cool.
From Mother Nature Network:
Samsung just released the prototype of its new flexible OLED thin film video passport. The passport contains a small “video” (really a series of images) that simulates a 360 view of the passport holder’s head. The moving image is displayed on a thin film page that contains an active matrix of pixels, each of which are independently controlled by an energy source.
In this case that energy source is simply radio frequencies. There are no batteries or cables involved. Moving the passport closer to a tuned radio source lights up the video of the passport holder.
thanks for the tip-off aboniks!
