CLEVER light-emitting wallpaper could help cut CO2 emissions in the future.

A revolutionary new product which has been manufactured in St Asaph, North Wales, could one day replace the humble light bulb. OLED (organic light emitting diode) technology provides a LED light source that can be incorporated into all kinds of household items, including wallpaper.

The advantage of having wallpaper that glows from within, is that it requires very little energy to run and has a long lifespan, thus making it very energy efficient.

The chief executive of Lomox, the company behind the OLED technology, says: “Lighting using OLED technology consumes significantly less energy and emits less CO2 than conventional lights.” Genius.
