World's first commercially available OLED screen.

TV Logic have unveiled the world's first commercially available OLED screen at the National Association of Broadcasters event in Las Vegas. It's 15" small and is aimed squarely at the commercial market. However, if you fancy one for the Kitchen worktop it'll set you back a mere $6,000, or $7.500 for the 3D version.

There are questions about the durability of OLED technology. TV Logic quote an "anticipated" 30,000 hours of use, although it is not known whether this is to the industry standard "half brightness" (literally the length of time it takes until the screen is half as bright as it was when brand new) or some other, more convenient benchmark. Brightness issues were one of the reasons Sony recently suspended development of OLED for the domestic market.

A long way to go then before OLED technol;ogy becomes affordable for the home.
