According to LG's OLED sales and marketing VP Won Kim, eighth-generation substrates will require LG to develop equipment that can handle a temperature of over 700 degrees Celsius. The company says oxide semiconductor is one of the candidate materials to be used for large panels, but it has a low reproducibility because of variations among lots. It was also made known that fluorescent materials will be used until 2011, followed by phosphorescent materials.
LG hopes to achieve a 50% higher material cost and a 30% lower yield than those of LCD panels in 2012, and a 20-30% lower material cost with an equivalent yield in 2016 -- meaning that 40" OLED displays may be cheaper than their LCD counterparts in 7 years.

The OLED technology is very nice but it will stay out of reach of average consumer for a next few years if the manufacturing process doesn't come up with some kind of breakthrough.
What the article forgets to mention is the price for the 15" model which is around 2500 $, and for that price it has to be one charming screen

That should be just in time for me, as my 76" CRT should need replacing around then

I must have missed a few news articles because I thought they weren't able to make large OLED screens yet. All I've heard about is a Sony TV that's only 11-inches in diagonal. When did they solve this problem?
