Shipments of organic light emitting diode (OLED) screens could increase eightfold by 2013, according to iSuppli, to over 240 million units–providing they can make the transition from passive matrix to active matrix technology.

OLEDs consume less power, offer higher contrast, a wider viewing angle, and very fast response time compared with regular LCDs.

Currently, OLED screens are found on cell phones, MP3 players, and even some flat panel TVs and digital TVs. Early screens could only display one or two colors, but manufacturers have made significant steps in the last year to bring the technology to much larger, full color panels. The report also mentioned the Nokia N85, an OLED-equipped smartphone with a 2.6-inch panel, as an example of the next wave of OLED devices.
