Light Therapy by Phone?

There has been a patent application for a cellphone which would emit light of the kind used in treating Seasonal Affective Disorder. 

“The patent, US 2006/0183516 calls for a phone to be fitted with a number of light panels on the face of the phone which would deliver “light therapy” to the users face when the phone is in use.”

You’d have to be on the phone an awful lot to benefit - sounds like a bit of a gimmick but I’ll reserve judgement until it appears.
