Hard to see the point of this technology at this point. Beware the bleeding edge of technology.

YAY!!!!
(The picture does not do it justice)
I have been waiting for a commercial application using OLED since I first heard about it in 2003.
I believe that OLED will eclipse all other display technologies and here's why.

OLED is brighter (if i am not mistaken it is brighter or as bright as crt and plasma)

The big catch is each individual OLED is capable of displaying all of the colors. So the traditional RGB (red, blue,green) method of displaying a picture is gone. This means we might see in the not too distant future resolutions of 10,000 lines or more for certain applications. It just depends on how small they can make them.

There is no need for a back light which means super high contrast.

An illustration of this concept is here (http://www.foveon.com/article.php?a=67) only it is for a camera chip but the principle applies.

OLED also has the ability to be mass produced (at least from the article I remember reading long ago) and by that i mean in very large sheets that are flexible (Sheets 1000' x 100' wide) and flexible means that they can be woven into fabric... Yes a T-shirt with a movie playing on your back. Or an entire wall in your home.

So eventually when they get that mass production figured out OLED should become as cheap as newspaper.

This is just the very beginning folks...

Edit (after reading some of the posts for CES) Some of my information about the mass production may or may not be correct. The info was from a white paper from some university that i honestly can't remember and i wish i could. It appears that Toshiba has dropped out of the OLED TV production at least for the time being because of the high cost. So now I am wondering how accurate that initial information that I have about the potential low cost is.

High contrast is right; up to 1,000,000 to 1! I saw the 11inch OLED screen by SONY and it was awsome! Like the diff between standard broadcast and HD, only imagine IMPROVING HD that much...wow.
