The basic questions:
• Technology lead vs Application Lead?• Technology Driven vs User Driven?• Can innovation in scenarios drive
innovation in technology?

OLED’s: Images of Things to Come
• Very thin (~6 m.m.)• Very inexpensive
(~$10 ft2)• Very soon (~5-7
years)• Very big and very
small• Approach “interactive
paper”• Will today’s design
decisions scale to take advantage?
