Researchers at GE have found a way to print OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes) “roll-to-roll,” much like printing newspapers. The breakthrough, coming as a result of four years of work, will allow manufacturers to create OLEDs at a fraction of the cost.

OLED technology is behind the flexible and e-ink displays popping up daily now, but price has always been a barrier. Now, with some tuning and polishing, the researchers hope they’ll have a working “printing press” set up to manufacture OLEDs at a much cheaper price.

OLEDs are much more energy efficient than traditional lights or displays. As soon as the printing method is perfected, we will see OLED displays quickly taking over current technologies. Just one of the benefits of OLEDs is better battery life for our gadgets, meaning less frequent recharging.

There is now just one major hurdle to jump – improving the lifetime of OLEDs. Since they are made of organic materials, they are very sensitive to outside elements, especially water. As soon as scientists figure out a way to overcome that, expect to see OLEDs everywhere.

Optimus Maximus keyboards have finally begun shipping. The keyboard, which is outfitted with an OLED display on every key, retails at a ridiculously high $462.

However, the hole left in your wallet just might be replaced with your love for the keyboard. It’s completely customizable for different languages and different programs via a program from the manufacturer.

It can display letters for the selected language on your computer, such as English, Russian, French, and Spanish, as well as show icons for programs like Photoshop and games like Half-Life 2.
