Off-Top (Sorry, but I Couldn't Pass by)

Innovation Lab located in Denmark reported about the creation of the first concrete display. The innovation world demonstration occurred on November 17 in Copenhagen IT-University (IT-Universitetet i Kobenhavn).

The new screen is made of gauzy concrete – a material saturated with optical fibres which play the role of pixels: they conduct natural light as well as the artificial one. The source of light may be, for example, a projector placed behind the screen.

You can see working display yourself on YouTube.

The developers claim their screen “makes the way to the new world of unexampled possibilities” and it is “a new conception to change the building branch, architecture, design and plenty of other fields”.

Except this, Innovation Lab says that interested companies stood in queue before the end of a production process.

Strictly, the Danish concrete screen is not the first one in the world: in March of the current year British scientists created a computer-driven concrete-chameleon which also can be used as a monitor though not luminous.
