During the past several years, light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, have been cropping up in places where traditional lighting technology has dominated. It seems this trend — which gathered steam years ago with the incorporation of LED technology into consumer electronics devices — has begun to accelerate into other consumer areas. In the near term, some analysts have speculated that LED technology could even help pave the way toward flexible screens — computer displays that actually would be bendable.
