Flexible LEDs for Implanting Under the Skin

[HardOCP News]

Researchers in China have developed a flexible ultra-thin sheets of LEDs to implant under the skin for medical monitoring. And you guys though modding LEDs into computers was cool, wait until you have a LED readout on your forehead.

and age tracking, when they hit 30 years old is turns red and they retire them to graveyard.

30!?
What reality are you living in?
The way things are going I won't (and many others) retire until I'm 80!

Anyway the body modding brigade will be all over this.

Damn, I was ready with a Logan's Run reference. Trivia fact: The original age in the book was 21, not 30 like the film and tv show.

I know...I just know it's a matter of time before we see someone's pic with a huge [H] implanted under their chest!

Probably so the LED matrix can be flexible and move with your skin...

Hope they use RoHS solder on them.

Someday we'll have to jack-in matrix style to charge a battery to run all of our bio-implants.

Yes, I went there.

 

[Parmenides]

Now they just need to harness bodily energy to keep it running permanently without re-tearing open the skin to put in a battery. Maybe burn glucose from the bloodstream? Then the cops will be able to chase you better for two reasons... you're slower and you're easier to follow.

I would LOL [H]ard if I saw a woman with LED's implanted in her forward stating "I'm with stupid ==>" and her husband is standing right next to her.

If a woman needs more than 7 LED's she's a stinking whore.
