This seems dangerously close to the efficiency of lasers, as well as appearing to only put out a small window of the light spectrum. Uhm, has anyone thought about radiation?

Does anyone know of anyome who owns a house with these features? I work for home and garden network and would love to feature them on the show.

It's been around at about this state of devolopment for a few years now. It's biggest use is computer displays and embeded computers and the like. This isn’t a new tech.

Sure would suck to have to re-build your walls/ceilings to get good lighting in your house after a few years. OLEDs slowly dim as they are used.

The heat generated by most other types of lighting uses most of the electricity needed to power it, OLEDs dont emit heat thus no energy is lost. This means literally 100% energy efficient lighting, very cool stuff. Actually it does mean energy efficiency.

_Production_ effeciency, not energy efficiency.
