ZDNet's Graeme Wearden is reporting that LG Philips has unveiled a 20.1-inch active matrix OLED display at the FPD International trade show in Japan.
"It is based on "low-temperature polysilicon," a technique also used in TFT-LCD production, where active components are integrated across the display glass. This lets the OLED display be made using modifications of existing techniques and production lines. Because OLED displays do not need a separate backlight, the power consumption of the finished unit should be lower than that of an LCD counterpart. "

This is pretty sweet, but 20 inches is still sort of small to me. Plus I have heard that OLED displays are not very reliable yet either since its a relatively new technology.
