Good show guys!  OLED's are just a variation of LED's- as in the newer LED flashlights.  OLED's have better color, lower power consumption, and can be thinner- but they are not as bright, and, the big problem, they do not last nearly as long- they degrade in something like a quarter of the time.  However, some companies are already improving their longevity- most of this can be read in the Wikepedia entry:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_light-emitting_diode

I think there are few items that are already using OLED's, like some camera displays, and MP3 displays- the Livescribe Pulse also uses one for its display (a really neat pen that records writing and audio and ties them together- a wonderful tool for students and journalists, if you have never seen this before- a bit off topic, but worth seeing:  http://www.livescribe.com/ )
