Lots of market speak with no technical details but the concept is interesting.

According to a Fast Company report, Rohinni is using ink and small LED lights to print "red blood cell" sized diodes onto a conductive layer. The diodes are randomly dispersed onto the material, and light up when connected to an electronic current, said the company's Chief Executive Officer Nick Smoot.

Very cool!! "A potential application for the paper thin LED is printing illuminating lampshades that would not require additional light sources or bulbs"

It appears that this ultrathin printed LED paper is attempting to emulate OLED.

Although there was a huge amount of research put into developing OLED, some researchers have come to the realization that organic may not be the most optimal way to go, so they are backtracking, trying to get higher efficiency inorganic materials to emulate the thin flexible effect of OLED, with its diffuse nature of light.
