Plastic, solar-powered walls with OLED-based bitmaps
SmartWrap is a thin plastic film that can be used as a building-material for walls and other construction contexts. SmartWrap comes with embedded OLEDs and/or solar panels; the solar cells power the OLEDs, which can be made to generate light or arbitrary bitmaps. However, without Kevlar reinforcement, SmartWrap can be punctured with a knife.
