Another tradeshow, another OLED prototype.

Though low-power OLED displays are common enough on handhelds, they’re taking their sweet time transitioning to the home theater sizes. LG is exacerbating this sad state of affairs by showing off its latest, 31-inch, .11-inch thick 3D OLED display during IFA this week in Germany. At first blush, it looks like reason to hope that we’ll one day soon be able to buy OLED TVs, but as Engadget notes, the excitement soon fades when near as equally stunning (and thin) LED-backlit LCDs share the spotlight in the same booth.

Wake me up when you hit 40-plus inches.
