An interesting Inquirer article, discussing the differences between OLEDs, LCDs and Plasma displays.
"In general, OLEDs deliver brighter images, higher contrast ratios, wider viewing angles and, without the need for a backlight, require less power to run. This makes them ideal for phones, notebooks etc. But we are here to talk about big screens that will be plugged in so forget power savings. Even better, OLEDs will allow for even thinner screens - around three centimetres - and are cheaper to produce than LCDs because they use less materials and the polymers can be "printed" onto plastic or glass sheets using a process similar to inkjet printing. Theoretically, they will be cheaper to produce and so should be cheaper to buy."
