    Will be interesting to see how this clashes with health and safety.

    For example train design in Spain was changed to disperse explosions better as a reaction to the train bombings.

    Would OLED screens be shatterable in the same way? Would they aid in dispersing energy or act as a pressure cooker?

    Further to this would they be easily broken by safety and rescue services in the event of an emergency or by passengers with those little red hammers?

    These tech articles always assume every cutting edge price of tech will be adopted immediately if the price is right and I don’t see health and safety taking that lying down personally.

    Unless the company can prove the screens are as safe in an emergency situation as normal windows at least. Conversely imagine if a train derailed and people were trapped and burnt alive because they couldn’t smash the OLED screen advertising windows or the rescue services couldn’t be as effective?
