OLED's need to be built between two rigid pieces of optical glass if you expect them to last any time at all.

At the present time OLED displays are small (2 to 4″ diagonal), expensive and have a short life.

BTW, these same consultants claim that the current 65 to 70 bn$ display industry will get to about $100 bn by the end of the decade.

Best,

If it truely is a paper display.... I would think that the cost to the user would be a very cheap idea... <br /> <br /> Only problem is OLEDs have a life expectancy... so for consumers to buy them, the cost would have to be WAY down.... like 100$ for a 27 inch OLED paper monitor that will last you 1 year...<br /> <br /> that would still be much better then blowing 800 dollars for a 21inch 1600x1200 LCD monitor that lasts you 4 years max.. ... everybody wins this way... paper monitor distributors earn money, you get a new cutting edge display... the power company doesnt get your money, you save the planet by eco-friendly monitor.<br /> <br /> And if the cost were right, I would even be willing to plunk down money on a semi yearly 50 inch paper display to watch 1080p tv on :P I think it will grow that large.. If it truely is a paper display…. I would think that the cost to the user would be a very cheap idea…

Only problem is OLEDs have a life expectancy… so for consumers to buy them, the cost would have to be WAY down…. like 100$ for a 27 inch OLED paper monitor that will last you 1 year…

that would still be much better then blowing 800 dollars for a 21inch 1600×1200 LCD monitor that lasts you 4 years max.. … everybody wins this way… paper monitor distributors earn money, you get a new cutting edge display… the power company doesnt get your money, you save the planet by eco-friendly monitor.

And if the cost were right, I would even be willing to plunk down money on a semi yearly 50 inch paper display to watch 1080p tv on :P

Just look at the global market for televisions, then transfer those dollars to the OLED market. Then add all the new, low-power applications. Book readers; newspapers, etc, especially if it reaches new extremes of low power consumption... it'll be everywhere. Store signs, the heels of your sneakers, the forehead of your children, your credit card, magazine pages... 10 billion seems conservative to me IF it lives up to the hype, price and performance wise. fyngyrz, from digg.com It could easily hit 10 billion if it can reach either (or both) a price and preformance point that surpasses LCD, Plasma and so on.

We are already half-way through 2006 and there really isn't anything out there yet. I think it's a great technology though. What do you guys think?
