I'm working on something similiar at a university, but we are using plastic in the concrete which contains pigment and electrically conductive additives that heats when energized. Our version doesn't display images, it just turns the entire slab of concrete a color. Although I think I've managed to come up with a way to actually strengthen the concrete by adding a matrix of heating arrays which would produce a concrete slab similiar (but superior (i.e. less energy, less manufacturing costs, etc)) than the concrete shown above.

This, I think, is the difference in getting an engineer to tackle the problem rather than a bunch of art students...]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/concrete-that-can-display-information/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/concrete-that-can-display-information/

what's wrong with a nice LED display, plasma panel or projector

seems a bit pointless tbh]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/concrete-that-can-display-information/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/concrete-that-can-display-information/Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/concrete-that-can-display-information/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/concrete-that-can-display-information/Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/concrete-that-can-display-information/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/concrete-that-can-display-information/
We have also developed ways of making entire slabs change colour, the report is pretty misleading, there is no need for jack hammers to repair the current system.

If you want to contact me use info@claymoredesign.com. I’m now working on commercialising the product, so drop me a line if you have any interesting leads, or would like to get involved.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/concrete-that-can-display-information/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/04/concrete-that-can-display-information/
