I can see them coming down in price sometime by the end of next year, where they are affordable to the average consumer. They are already half of what they use to be 2 years ago, that is comparing 20" and 26" tv's. I use to see 26" tv's selling for 800-$900 two years ago, now they are ranging between $400-$500. Plus with the whole digital switch in February next year (2009), I think LCD sales will increase which we will see prices starting to fall, because demand will be up. |
Actually, he was talking about organic LCDs. There are no "organic LCDs" other than OLEDs. They are referred to in this way because they share many common manufacturing practices with LCDs. Mass media sometimes likes to call them organic LCDs because to most people an LCD is a flat panel and they don't care about the engineering processes that go into the display.
To respond to your post, I think LCDs will continue to decrease in price. In a few years prices of OLEDs will start to decrease as well (its old technology, and cheap to manufacture, it just needs economies of scale to bloom). I just didn't think it was going to happen as quickly as he did, so I wanted to know if he had any interesting information about plans to introduce OLEDs quickly.
