I wonder what a wall of this stuff would cost when Sony's 11-inch OLED television retails for $2499?

It doesn't matter what it costs, as long as we don't have to burn carbon based fuels to power it!

(I wonder how much fossel fuel it takes to make them?)

New tech is always $$$ as they want to recoup developement costs. I remember the first hand-held calculators were $300; now they give them away as promos.

Between the Chinese and Walmart; $29.95 in 5 years

Again...another new technology that could be used in some interesting ways. I wonder how bright it is, what color(s), etc.

As far as making LED's obsolete? I doubt it ... similar technology, and the possible uses seem to be very different to me.

I wonder how hard it is to get off the wall when it burns out?
