5 years 'maybe'. Lots of money going into it, but still a ways to go. Don't think they even have color yet do they? Think how long LCDs have been out and are only now begining to achieve widespread performance / affordability levels. And once they get OLED tech right they have to agree on standards, divvy it up between the investors and get yields etc worked out. Meanwhile exisiting technologies find new improvements and new ways to reduce cost. Remember just a few short years ago optical drives were going to wipe conventional hard drives off the planet? The cost of a MB of disk storage fell like a rock and optical never got a look-in.

Don't hold your breath.

actually they do have color ones on phones now i saw then at CES. there really nice. there flat but you can look at them from any angle and not get the distortion and bluryness with regular LEDs. from a sie on view you can slomost see the hole picture clearly still there really cool. 5 years dosent sound that bad by then i might have the money to buy one

Right now they can't make em last long enough..... they have a short lifespan with current technology....they're working on it...

I estimate 5 years IF everything goes as it should.... but who knows....

OLEDs are used in cell phones and car stereos currently, but they don't display a whole lot of colors, either..
