@largedarryl - That is true for current OLED products on the market, but then again for a cell phone it doesn't matter if the screen only lasts 5 years if the keypad will only last about 1-3 years. Fortunately the newer OLEDs that Toshiba and Panasonic are working on have a longer lifespan than current LCDs.

 

The incorporation of a metal membrane aids the lifespan of OLED's beyond that of LCD's.

 

lifespan is a misleading term. As I understood it, lifespan as related to LCD tvs is the amount of time it takes for the screen to reach half factory vibrance. The screen itself can work indefinitely.

I'm am not referring to the half-life of the technology.
