light made solid

Here is a interesting project for the invention of electric stained glass by Boris Volfson. He has images of a prototype here.

Electric Stained Glass is comprised of light-emitting substances or electroluminophores arranged in a decorative pattern, electroconductive walls trapping the electroluminophores, and a plurality of lead-simulating strips coinciding with the boundaries of the electroluminophores. Unlike conventional stained glass, Electric Stained Glass, under the application of electricity, emits beautiful light from both sides rather than transmitting and filtering it from one side only.
