From reddit:
:"It'll be the future when you can buy one with a 2-year warranty.
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."

hixsonjDude, forget the HUD on your dashboard, you could replace your entire windshield with this stuff!
videosiftbannedmeIt's stuff like this that makes me know we'll have teleportation one day. If you told somebody in 1920 that we'd make it to the moon, they'd have called you crazy. Or update it: If you told somebody in 1974, that one day they have their entire music and video catalogue able to fit on something size of a postage stamp...you get where I'm going with this.
We're going to have spaceships, holodecks, teleporters, lightsabers, "babel fish"; all kinds of cool radical shit.
And I'll be dead.
vairetubehave faith! maybe there will be technology to stop your degeneration and ultimate demise, too!! word up.

...and die the first time a truck kicks up a pebble.
Drachen_Jagersays...Did he say it's good for a heads up display in a car because it's not distracting? Seems like it would be more distracting to me because even when you're concentrating on the road it's right in your field of view.
PaybackMeh, CSI:Miami has had this for 3 or 4 seasons now...
...oh wait, this is real.
