Making large OLEDs isn't tough. The reason the display industry hails it as the 2nd coming is because OLED can be fabricated using inkjet printing processes over a theoretically unlimited surface area. OLEDs can be printed on curved substrates, flexible substrates, transparent substrates, you name it.
The tricky part is that they have a service life somewhere between yoghurt and beer. The dyes used really, really like to suck water out of the atmosphere and break down; some of them will actually leech hydrogen and oxygen out of the substrates on which they're printed. They also break down quickly in UV light; sitting all day on the dashboard of a hot car in a parking lot is pretty much the nightmare scenario for OLED at the moment.
You were watching a sales engineer. They probably didn't let the chemist come along with; he would have strangled that guy."
