Qwerty.08 The Keys To Our Future : outlookindia.com: "Technologists and researchers believe the very face of gadgets may get transformed in the very near future. Says S. Bhaskaran, senior director, Software Competence Centre, Philips Medical Systems, Philips Innovation Campus, Bangalore: 'The biggest change may come in the way we perceive lighting. It may be totally different from the way we know it today.' Just as bulbs are being eased out by the compressed fluorescent lamp (CFL), the next revolution in lighting is expected with the introduction of LED. Till recently, it was impossible to produce white light from LEDs—widely used in traffic lights, music and medical systems and for various indicators. But recent technological advances have been successful in crossing that barrier. The fact is LED lighting is not only more luminous but even more energy-efficient than CFLs. It also removes a large amount of heat from the system. With economies of use will come ease of use. From pasting on walls for lightening, LED panels would offer the option of replacing the usual glass window panes, even double up as your TV or computer screen because they would be capable of projecting video signals. Globally, LED is used as large format panels on buildings to run company videos. Soon, this will come into homes."
