I saw something cool in a magazine, however, I didn't have a use for it at the time, but now I do, and I need some of that stuff, but can't remember where I saw it.
It was some kind of clear plastic, flexible, I think it needed a battery although I'm not sure, and, as advertised, it would create multi-colored patterns. And, it didn't strike me as having an array of LEDs, but more like a polymer, and, yes, I know there is something called "organic LED material," but that's probably too expensive. Anyway, I want to know if anyone has seen that advertisement, or has a clue as to what it was, regarding some inexpensive plastic material, like a sheet of it, that could produce multicolored effects. Multicolored, as in, more complicated than just a red, a white, and a blue LED, although, I didn't look at it long enough to say for sure. And, I wouldn't call it a fiber optic material, but definitely something like that. I think the ad showed it being used on a bicycle wheel, or at least mentioned that you could use it for that, and it could flash different colors, simultaneously, and randomly. Also, the magazines I usually read are Nuts and Volts, Circuit Cellar, or maybe a Jameco catalog, hobby/robotics, or PC related stuff, but I've retraced my steps and haven't been able to find that little advertisement again. It wasn't a full page ad, like 1/4 page or 1/8 page.
If anybody happened to see that ad, or has a clue as to what that stuff was, please let me know. I just set up an email address just for this question, and it should be active shortly, and it's -> el_roboto_loco at yahoo dot com. And, just to make doubly sure, you can also reach me as almo6914 so, please CC: snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com
