Hmmm, wireless power receiver driving a tiny OLED panel showing...what exactly? It's interesting, but I fail to see the point.

That is pretty dam cool.

You could use it to help ID people it could display front back side photos as well as pictures of tatoos and what have you.

Yay, just what I need, even more PII stored in one place on something small that I carry around all the time. :facepalm:

Coming soon: Full criminal profile, background investigation, DNA analysis, psych profile, and genealogy, all on one convenient ID card! Privacy? Who needs it! Just put everything on your driver's license! I mean, it's not like those ever get into the hands of people you wouldn't want to have all that info. Right? ...right? ...no?

My take on it is rather like the transparent OLED laptop that Samsung (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/samsungs-14-inch-transparent-oled-laptop-video/) is coming out with soon. Cool tech, but they're missing the target a bit on implementation.

i almost ended up writing my under-graduate dissertation about this. If they store your biometrics, who needs to carry a document?!

Define document.
