Philips Electronics has come up with "Lumalive", a flexible LED fabric that can be integrated into furniture, drapes... and clothing.

Lumalive textiles can display anything that a normal LED array can – except it’s flexible and soft! Running text can flow across the couch or dynamic images can appear. Standalone graphics or preset color patterns can create an almost magical lighting experience. Or the couch can color-coordinate with your mood lighting. The most exciting thing though, is the element of surprise. The technology is only visible when it’s turned on – otherwise it looks like an ordinary couch.

Imagine the insanely gaudy, flashy costume effects you could get with this stuff! I want it for a dragon costume!
