Hammer time!
Ever seen a broken LCD screen? Not pretty. Not at all. It's just one big explosion of black liquid that reminds me of a very freaked out squid.
Samsung's OLED technology, however, appears to hold up much better under pressure. We're not just talking about tense situations here, but literal pressure of a hammer pounding it directly. Check it out below:

But will it blend? Probably. Regardless, that's one resilient OLED. Of course, the OLED screen will most likely be placed on top of circuitry, so any attempt to hammer a device that carries such a screen might not destroy the display right away, but will do some damage to everything else.

I'd like to see how much force it takes to actually destroy one. Like, if the guy bent it to the point of creasing etc.
The technology looks simply amazing and I can't wait until we start seeing this in consumer electronics, wrist-watches, etc but let's not over-exaggerate. I wouldn't even describe an armored tank as virtually indestructible.
Think about it, make super camouflage with any surface (with the right programming) and be really strong..
Thats because OLEDs dont require a back light, which also means great contrast. Just cant wait till these things in 22" cost what current TN panel LCD's cost. However with the ever inflating American dollar I may never be able to afford one.
it's a song sang by Son dambi and After school to promote the technology for samsung. hence my post above indicating she's awesome...
This would be perfect for gamers with tempers... Now can it hold up to a knife
I can't wait until this technology gets cheaper. However OLEDs don't have the life expectancy of a regular LCD, plasma or CRT TV.
Nahh.... Nano Suit FTW!
- all other things equal (same screen size, resolution, brightness, ...)
