article published on 12 March, 2008
Once touted as a bright spot in the future of display panels in the television industry, OLED technology has often been found to promise quite a bit yet produce very little. No one quite knew that developing the next generation of display would take so long to produce. The idea that it was based upon of having a flexible and durable screen has remained a very tantalizing feature that has ... [ read the full article ]

But there's still the fact that OLED lifespan is only 5000 hours, where LCD's last over ten times longer.

We're boycotting all GE products because of their direct link to terrorists, so we hope someone else makes another production technology.
I didn't know that LCD's lifespan was a whopping 10 times longer. Reading that and seeing GE's involvement in OLED, convinces me that we should buy the best LCD TV instead of waiting.

just because a terrorist uses a GE product doesn't mean they support him, GE is based all around the world...its inevitable for them....although im not moving from my plasma any time soon:P or DLP id still like to see how this develops...it sound interesting:D

GE is a bit of an Evilcorp from what I've seen... Might have a nice face with their consumer products, but their GE Money division is ruthless and unscrupulous and they have been (and possibly still are) heavily involved in landmine production.

yes we all know how evil GE can be in their decisions... I actually live bout 20 minutes away from one of their old factories... its turned into a major lawsuit issues due to the PCB's they dumped... but you also have to look at it from their standpoint, money controls the world... they're willing to make whatever is needed bring in money...

Nice to see most of you don't spend all day in the bathroom. There's so many on these forums that inject their teeny-bopper comments, that so many others don't bother anymore with these forums - just the guides and the newsletter.
GE has a lot of negative business practices that the general public is not aware of (you are it's nice to see) but one of the most objectionable things is that GE does business with the Bin Laden family.
I don't care that I've bought fridges, light-bulbs, telephones and god-knows what else from this company. It stops now.
When I hear that they have severed all their business relationahips with terrorists in the middle east, I MIGHT consider buying a GE related product again.

Earlier OLED televisions have been rated to approximately 30,000 hours of life, or 8 hours per day for 10 years, Toshiba found a way to double that. See related articles under post.

If they can do this we will be able to buy Oled TV's cheaper than a CD.

Why? the? hell? would? i? buy? digital? toilet? Paper?
thats really grate tell me how the heck this is suppossed to be implemented, the only thing im pulling otta my blank head is digital roadside bulliton boards. and bus Advertizments.
why would us average individuals have any use for this, and the goverment has already had the technology for years.
heres a little bit of info. GE has there products in over 65% of Bomber and Multi-Roll Fighting Aircraft in the UN country's Alone. 35% in Tanks and about 20% in A2A & G2A missils.
So yes there in a goverment bond.
do they support Terrorists. thats if you consider the 747 Boing passenger plan as a Weapon.

Ok, granted that OLED has a relatively short lifespan at present, but that is sure to increase as time improves. The fact remains though that we are now living in a disposable technology world, where we care more about quality now than whether it'll still be as good in ten years time. After all, the technology will probably become obsolete within that sort of timeframe anyway.
What draws me to OLED is the picture quality and refresh times. It's way better than LCD, CRT or even plasma for that matter (They consume less power too). The only other alternative similar in benefits is laser, but I got my money riding on OLED to be the next big thing.
