BizLED recently published an interesting story about a solid-state lighting technology that could become efficient enough to take on the LED: nanowires.
I’ve theorized that given LED’s efficiency and performance, it may well be the last major light source for the foreseeable future. There will continue to be a great deal of innovation for many years, but all within the realm of LEDs, control and connectivity. There will be competitive technologies like OLED and plasma, but these may be limited to specific applications whereas LEDs have already become ubiquitous.
That being said, I could be wrong. New approaches may improve the efficiency of lighting or otherwise improve its performance such that another revolution may be in our future. What are your thoughts?
