Part 1:

Oled Wall Decals

- My concept is to reduce the cost and the use of light power in the house by using Oled.

In 2020, with the on-going technology, the use of light bulbs will be the past because of the introduction of OLED technology. It will reduce the cost of lighting and be better for the environment. With the strength of Oled lighting incorporated with an ambient light sensor, we are able to create a wall sticker designed to brighten up the room. Organic light emitting diodes are thin films of organic molecules that create light with electricity and provides a much clearer image as well as using less power than most lights. The decal will come in multiple different designs that will be easily removable afterwards and can be placed anywhere else.

Also, the top layer of the OLED wall decal will be topped with a sheet of clear acrylic where the individual can paint on it with water-colours that can easily be taken off and repainted also. The wall stick will not be transparent.

Rather than having the trouble to install wire in the ceiling for lighting, these decals will have an ambiant light sensor to adjust the brightness display. Due to this sensor, the wall decal will be slightly thicker than paper but solid. There will be a soft switch so that the user will still be able to adjust the light if it needs to be brighter or turned off (unsure of where the switch should be/undetermined).

I have been inspired by Philips transparent-OLED wall that detects motion and these new wall stickers that replace wallpaper and painting. Also, Crozier's idea of stained glass Oled inspired me to be able to add colour to the designs.
