With Sony going commercial with their first OLED Televisions this week I got to reading about Organic LED technology. This got me to thinking. What if the substrate used to help hold the organic layers in place were not plastic but human flesh?
Think of it. We already have implantable chips. We have found ways to fuse neurons with computer circuitry and pass signals back and forth. We can grow human ears of the backs of laboratory mice. We can transplant skin and organs. Why not push the envelope and see if OLED technology can fuse with true organic material like human skin?
Imagine a tattoo that can be programmed! One moment it is a wizard, the next it is a lion, the next it is the physics equations for that big exam. Mix in some extra circuitry and programming and have it connected to an implanted chip and presto! Mood Flesh! Angry? Your OLED tattoo flashes red in anger. Sad? A low pulsing blue tone. Talk about the human cuttlefish!
Just an interesting thought experiment. Do you think it is possible? Drop me a note.
