The original headline looked forward to OLED displays around 2010. It should be read as an expectation about wider commercial availability from that period, rather than the date when the technology first existed or a prediction about the future now.
What OLED means
OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode. The article explained that an electrically stimulated organic layer produces light, making the display concept different from simply placing a backlight behind another panel structure.
That basic explanation helped readers understand why the technology attracted attention for televisions, computers and mobile devices.
The appeal described by the source
The author anticipated advantages in viewing angles and the appearance of colour and contrast. It described the prospect of using the technology in many types of screens people interact with every day.
Those expectations were not a comparative test of particular products. A display's actual quality depends on the panel and its implementation, not only the technology name.
Durability as a concern
The original article identified deterioration of the materials as an obstacle to wider commercial use. It treated useful lifetime as important to whether a technology could move from an attractive demonstration into products people would keep using.
The source's broad suggestion that OLED had not yet entered the market oversimplified the earlier product landscape. This edition retains the concern about wider adoption without presenting that statement as a complete history of the technology.
The price expectation
The article attributed to Samsung an expectation that several OLED screens would be marketed around 2010. It also anticipated higher prices than the LCD products used as its comparison.
Those were forecasts at the time. They are not current prices, release dates or buying recommendations.
A snapshot of a changing market
The conclusion waited for further announcements about how manufacturers would introduce the technology. The page is useful as a record of what a general technology article expected before 2010, with the original future-facing language kept in its historical setting.
