Toshiba, Matsushita set to mass produce small OLED panels

At last!
I say this without sarcasm:

This is going to change the world.

Thats cool, starting with small screens will keep cost down and probably help reduce the cost when larger screens are produced.

Only problem is Pop they'll be looking for a way to have these "fail" so the replacement rate isn't once every 15-20 years. Gone are the days of a TV working for 20 years. Now a days they are built to last 7 years or less. Makes for a nice steady revenue stream don't you think?! Maybe that's why the American manufacturers went buh-bye long ago.
