Allan,

I actually work in the display area. LEDs are a lot more efficient than most people would think. They are showing up everywhere in places like automobile lighting and cell phones to name a few. They have few of the issues that florescents have. They are a lot easier to make and each year they get better. Plus as volumes have ramped the price has dropped sharply. Uses will continue to grow and I bet they overtake compact florescents in a few years.

On other display technologies like OLEDs. More are showing up but they will probably continue to be used in short product life applications like cell phones. We are a long way from seeing them in anything very large. One technology that I have seen that is interesting is by WEDX called Ifire. They are actually building a plant to make their displays which is a good start.
