LG to triple OLED production by next year



In addition to e-paper and solar cells, the Korean electronic-maker describes OLED displays as one of its "new growth engines." The company recently introduced a 15-inch OLED TV, which should hit shelves in the US this summer for around $2,725 -- but that's just the start. LG intends to ship a 30-inch television with the technology as early as mid-2011. Previous reports suggested 40-inch OLED panels should arrive in 2012.

LG's OLED screens may also be coming to future-generation Apple iPod, iPhone or iPad products, as Cupertino has reportedly increased its contract from $500 million to $800 million.
