Much work remains before OLEDs can be considered a player in the display and lighting markets. Among the necessary success factors are mass manufacturing that delivers high yields at competitive costs and a willingness on the part of companies to pursue the technology. But the trends are positive. OLED performance for TVs is outstanding and power consumption is low. Moreover, OLED lighting offers new opportunities in high efficiency, unique form factors, and “relaxing” color temperatures. If the companies practicing the technology follow through with their plans, we should begin to see new competition for TFT‐LCDs and LED lighting in the next 3 years.
