Good point. What about LED arrays in the same fashion that LCD
arrays are currently used to make screens? Anyone make these for
red or green LED's yet? (I have seen segmented ones and the silent
news display screens, but I meant to a finer pitch).
Are dense LCD arrays easier to make? It seems someone could make
a fine array with teeny-tiny LEDs to keep the power consumption lower
as well as addressing circuitry to keep from needing a bazillion wires.
