2. If $x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4 x}$, then $1-2 x+2^{2} x^{2}-2^{3} x^{3}+2^{4} x^{4}$ $-\cdots-2^{1995} x^{1995}$ is. $\qquad$.
2. 1 .

From $x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4 x}$ we can get $1-2 x+(2 x)^{2}=0$.
$$
\begin{array}{c}
\therefore \text { the original expression }=1-2 x\left[1-2 x+(2 x)^{2}\right]+(2 x)^{4}[1-2 x \\
\left.+(2 x)^{2}\right]-\cdots-(2 x)^{1993}\left[1-2 x+(2 x)^{2}\right]=1 .
\end{array}
$$
