LED lip-film
Because there will only be progress in the making of flexible and smaller electronic devices | |
Walking by the cosmetics section of a store today, a sign
advertising Really Shiny Glossy Lipstick caught my eye.
Idea!
Apply a thin plastic film to the lips, containing flexible
electronics full of red LEDs (light-emitting diodes), powered
by the temperature
difference between the skin
and the air. Your lips will now
be
shinier than ever!

It won't suit you, [vernon] |

Hey, I specified "you" in the main text, as a user of
this Idea, not myself! |
|
| |
But will my lips still be kissable soft? |
|
| |
[AusCan531], I suppose it depends on how thin
the
plastic film is. |
|
| |
To All, there is a tech problem with this Idea that
makes
it Half-Baked (or at least more-difficult to actually-
Bake). Some extra power source for the LEDs will
be
required. If there was enough energy available
from
the difference between air-temperature and the
surface-temperature of lips, to power glowing
lights,
the lips probably would already be glowing.... |
|
| |
A possible compromise might be for the
electronics to include some energy-storage
capacitors, which are slowly charged while the
LEDs are NOT glowing. Sensors detecting muscle
movements would trigger the LEDs only when the
wearer manipulates the lips into a big smile.... |
