Im starting to wonder if OLED is ever more than a small, expensive niche...

I see their separate OLED ventures as small screen (tablet/phone) business...

Since Panasonic LCD's arent the best out there, I see them exiting the display business...

Actually, their partnership was to DEVELOP production methods.

As Kateeva has now revealed they have developed a practical, scalable ink jet style printing OLED production line, AND displayed it in actual production AND is selling it, it's pretty much game over for that S & P venture.

And yes, this means that large OLED TVs will ramp up over the next couple of years as the new gen 8 (etc) fabs get built. Prices will come down so maybe the average videophile could actually consider buying one for Christmas 2015, and then actually buy one the following year.

Mass produced, reliable aging, "30% cheaper than LCD", large screen OLED = believe it when I see it
