It's reported that both Idemitsu Kotsan and Sumitomo executives estimate that "2012 will be the year when OLEDs hits the big times". Idemitsu Kotsan also says that they are working on a new way to 'spray' small-molecule OLED materials. The new method should be ready by 2015. Spraying OLEDs (instead of using vapor-deposition) will mean less material loss, and thus cheaper displays. It will also make it easier to fabricate large panels.
