This is really funny, of course OLED can be used for automobiles and other screens, in fact any screen can use OLED, samsung OLED TV can even go up to 88inches. OLED screens can also be made flexible rather than just flat.
A better answer would be that OLED is more expensive to produce and common mass produced autos will not be fitted with OLED screens due to high cost of OLED.
Chairman expected that mass production of OLED will not happen till 2018 probably due to price. He also said LCD BLU still has its market because of its safety and reliability compared to OLED. Example of usage is in automobiles screens and GPS
Previously in Dec 2015, Philip replied my query saying that the udon business has 90yrs of history and there are currently no plans to expand this business.
CDW is in the midst of doing "market research"
His reply regarding the new panels is similar: they have sent samples and potential clients feedback is positive but no orders yet.
The new gen panels are "co developed with a Taiwanese company".
