I'm back. Internet research (yay, Google.com) goes fast. 
A small description from Kodak again: quote: "An Organic EL display is comprised of self-luminous pixels which require no backlighting. It features unlimited viewing angle and faster response speed than conventional LCD technology. With its low power consumption, high brightness, and thin design, future Organic EL displays incorporated in digital cameras and personal digital assistants (PDA) displays will not only be brighter and clearer, but will be thinner in physical design and consume less power that current technology. It will replace the current LCD in such small and middle-size appliances as cellular phones and portable terminals.
...Active Type Organic EL Displays are characterized by high brightness, quick response, unlimited viewing angle, low operating voltage, low power consumption, and thin structure. "
Here's some more info for those curious:
Kodak site
Pioneer Electronics.com
And I forgot one of the best alternate applications: FOLED, where the F stands for flexible! Does this mean a Handspring that you can actually stick in your back jeans pocket and sit on? Would need a flexible circuit board, of course (or all circuitry crammed to one side along the axis of possible flexing...)
Universal Display Site Says somewhere in there that "OLEDs are projected to have full-production level cost advantage over most FPDs." (Flat Panel Displays)
And, one from the Slashdot message board This thread meanders a bit, but I threw it in anyway.
