If not it than some variant of it, I also knew from the production processes of such panels and their amenability to running off of standard CMOS fabs that they could eventually be produced in mass at prices far lower than what is possible with TFT LCD. Also, because OLED's can be produ...

(The following are reasons I quickly cited in response to an article posted at SAI here , I plan on writing another post to expand on the significance of OLED to come for other areas of technology.) **Posted questions** 1.
