When used on an exterior wall, OLEDs could transform the look of your house in seconds. "You could have a blue house one day and a green house the next day," says Timberlake. "You could have a camouflage pattern or political signage." Insulation is provided by gel-filled pockets between two layers of SmartWrap; power can be supplied by solar cells and stored...
