Oh great! Now once again I know more than I understand (the story of my life). :)
That I understood. OTOH an entire acre of grass with both sides of each blade emitting at firefly levels would be a /lot/ different from dark. My point is this: If you can produce LEG (light emitting grass) that breeds true, the cost/lumen is _zero_. How closely can that cost level be approached with any other (excepting solar!) technology?
Back in the days before LEDs were bright enough to be more than binary panel indicators (not much better than fireflies), I built an array of
12x960 LEDS (an early LED graphic display device, I still have it stored away) that could make a person squint when they were all lit.At half that light per pixel, but at perhaps fifty times the pixel density, you'd have a significant amount of light.
I'm not a biologist (IANAB?) but that _does_ sound fantastic. Movies? Can you post (or send) a video? With a voice-over to tell about what's shown? Please...
