Solar Powered "Sticker Lamps" Offer Paper-Thin Illumination [Solar Power]
It doesn't seem all that revolutionary at first glance (it reminds me of glow-in-the dark stickers), but I can see how being able to move a serious lightsource with such a small footprint around a room would give it an advantage over similar, more traditional products.
