Mark - exactly what I thought - Hary Potter...
that said, this would open up all sorts of interesting and exciting possiblilites. Sounds wonderful. Photography is always in dange of being hidebound by its apparent technical limitations (although more often than not, they are mental barriers - size being a good example)

What Kodak is up to...
Not a heck of a lot as far as I'm concerned!
I wonder if one needs a separate power supply for each image?
Maybe one can connect multiple images in parallel??? Or, in series?
All I know is, don't get them near water!
This has a lot of potential. One of the biggest complaints I have about displaying photographs is they need to be properly light, and not everyone has track lights in their homes. Even if they do the intensity can vary greatly making it difficult to print properly. Having an internal light source built into the paper would be a big step in solving the problems with displaying prints. Perhaps the prints would be more like slides on a light table with brilliant colors and rich detail from the shadows to the highlights. This concept could have enormous potential.

sounds pretty cool to me. i can't think of any use for it for myself, but it's probably something intended for the (huge) tradeshow and exhibition market. and it could get adopted pretty quickly by artists who are more interested in experimenting than with being bound by rules and habits.

They explain it all in this video
" ... and the phosphor layer is topped with a transparent metal film."
Does anyone else remember the Star Trek movie with the whales and 'transparent Aluminum' container walls?? I guess they are still using 'Warp speed' computers in Rochester. Too bad Kodak was invaded by 'trekkies' but that might explain what's been going on there.
Good morning people.
Sounds good to me.
I'm only a telephone engineer, and I have trouble understanding conspiracy theories
Best regards,
