Active Matrix OLED, Why?

I look at the cost of these Active Matrix OLED’s spark fun is carrying. The cost of these is so insane i cant imagine many people buying these. i would think that SF would put more of its funds toward something better than taking up funds and stock room for something that would cost this much.

Expensive? certainly, but have you noticed how fast the stock run out?

that all depends on how many they had to start with, i am sure it was not many.

besides, who is going to make a project that starts out with a $200 LCD

Well, if their stock is running out from time to time, they must be stocking about the right number of them. If it never ran out, then they might be tying up too much money in them. If they’re only stocking one or two at a time, then they probably aren’t tying up too much money and stock space with them. And if they’re stocking a bunch of them and still selling out, then it’s an even better investment of money and space. Obviously somebody is doing something with them.
