The light printing technology

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Not a long time ago polish inventors have developed innovative method of producing OLED screens. They have created the cheapest and the thinnest electronic band with OLED screen which is now the biggest innovation in so called the light printing technology.

How it works?

They named it Inuru and it uses Organic Light Emitting Diodes, which is something similar to LEDs but it’s made out of organic components.

OLED display technology which is using organic diodes degrade rapidly therefore it provides a light for only a few seconds or minutes . That’s why it is hard to introduce it on a mass scale. However by creating more and more products Inuru is going to optimise the use of diodes to increase theirs lifetime which allows them to glare a lot longer.

It’s also worth mentioning that this solution is sustainable and ecological. Inuru does not use heavy metals or heavy ions. Also the materials are similar to those used right now, that means this tech is fully recyclable.

The ideas of use:

Because of the display being so thin there are no limitations to it’s use. For example you can print it onto clothes so that the display shines if someone hugs you. This technology is also meant to help people, the idea is to combine the diodes with the labels on the medicine to indicate when it expires. We could spend hours and hours thinking about the applications but the most interesting aspect is changing the way of advertising products.

Changes in adverts

Personally I think the biggest changes will be seen in the way of promoting products by multiple companies. Since the great economic development every one of them want to be the best in the marketing. Now when the Inuru is on the market a lot of companies started to make some initial projects. One of the first corporation to cooperate with Inuru creators is Coca Cola. They have created the first label to use on bottles and it looks like that:

They are planning to use such labels on special edition bottles. In my point of view think there will be more and more products using this technology because it surely attracts the eye of the customer and that’s what companies are looking for.

To get the better understanding of Inuru technology i recommend you watching this video. Unfortunatelly it’s in polish but you can add english subtitles. Let me know what are your thoughts and ideas were you would use that technology.

    It’s an exciting idea until I walk into a store and get blinded by all the packages because every single brand will want to implement that technology for their products. I have to say I wouldn’t mind seeing it on stuff like clothes or medicine labels, especially since the labels are reusable.

    I hope it doesn’t become mainstream. I already find the lights, for example on times square, blinding. It’s a technology that’s going the make advertising even more agressive. Also energy doesn’t come from nowhere so it would cost more energy to produce such products and I don’t think that’s the path we should go in the era of near ecological disaster.

    This is the first time I see such technology. In fact, for me it’s something completely new, but at the same time beautiful and interesting. The idea of such luminous stickers is very unusual, but I didn’t quite understand its purpose. The idea of using this as an expiration date on medicines that will glow is certainly useful. But for now, where else they can be used except for entertainment, I don’t quite understand, but that’s enough for the new technology at this stage, too. I think Inuru will still think over their idea and something useful will really come out of it.
