Not sure why there don't seem to be any practical uses of it (at least I have not seen any such displays anywhere in my life or for sale anywhere.)

"In order to turn the air into light, the energy density required is roughly a trillion watts per square centimeter."
I suddenly need to know how many Bitcoin networks' worth of rainforests this kills each time it displays an advertisement
