    OLED display life to exceed LCD!

    Toshiba and Panasonic double OLED lifespan -- exceeds LCDs
    http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/toshiba-and-panasonic-double-oled-lifespan-exceeds-lcds/
    While we love the low power consumption and ultra-high contrast achieved by OLEDs, there's one thing we hate: OLED's short lifespan. Toshiba and Panasonic are looking to change the game by announcing a new technology today that doubles the life of OLED displays. We're talking a bump from the stated 30,000-hour lifespan of Sony's XEL-1 TV to somewhere beyond that of your typical 50,000-hour LCD panel. Tosh and Panny's trick is to use a new metal membrane inside a prototype 20.8-inch panel to move light more efficiently. Let's see if this new development brings forth Toshiba's timeline for an OLED TV any. Please Toshiba, with sugar?[Via techradar] Read [Warning: subscription req'd]


    According to the story Toshiba and Panasonic (no longer Matsushita, just plain Panasonic now) have developed a technique they claim will boost OLED's lifespan past the 50,000 hours that LCD displays have.

    Now all they need is a low price and a large screen.

    They still need to fix the long term color shift due to B deteriorating much much much faster than R and G.

        The news sounds good to me. On the other hand big (20" and bigger) OLED displays won't be available for reasonable prices before 2010 I guess
