I never said pushing the envelope was bad, but extensive RND investment isn't always to make something better, but in most cases to make it cheaper/easier to produce/etc. I think most companies should focus on pushing the technological barrier, but for companies like Sony that tend to focus on luxury type electronics are setting themselves up for failure.
From many of the companies that have presented OLED technology to me, they suffered from lifespans of roughly 1/10 of LED technologies. This decrease in lifespan is unacceptable in consumer electronics, and last time I heard was only 1 year ago.
