We looked at OEL displays; problem is, at the moment only pioneer make anything useful in terms of size (everyone else is in pre-production stage). This is very unusual - even Sony don't make their own LCDs in their car audio products, despite having LCD manufacturing capability.

Pioneer will sell them to us, but they're not cheap and have pixel life problems (early displays had around a 50% failure rate in a year; even the current displays invert themselves periodically in order to equalise pixel life!). Kudos to pioneer for pushing ahead and selling technology which noone else can get ready for the market, though.

In a year or two OEL will be everywhere, when life improves and prices get a bit better. Pioneer obviously have a slight advantage when it comes to cost as they make the displays themselves...
