Yes! But when they came out, they were as much as a car. The OLED may experience the same drop in price and increase in size.

And while we wait for OLED to drop in price, the other technologies keep getting better and they are already affordable. That's why OLED may never catch on.

I’ve seen it go both ways. 8-track stopped getting better, as did Cassette and open reel. Sometimes one technology is trumped by another that does the same thing cheaper and better. Sometimes staggeringly better.

I even sold a few El-cassette decks back in the day. ;)

To be fair, I am a huge fan of LED lighting. I have no doubt whatsoever that it will completely eclipse almost all other light sources for consumer goods that need light, right down to car headlights.
