-Lifespan is extremely short, 17000 hours for standard images, and only 5000 hours for white colors.

-Screens are VERY easily damaged.

Not sure where you get your statements from but there is a thread discussing OLED tech here;

1. Production cost is NOT expensive for OLED..

1. Production Cost - Since OLEDs can be printed onto any suitable substrate using an inkjet printer or even screen printing technologies,they can theoretically have a significantly lower cost than LCDs or plasma displays. Printing OLEDs onto flexible substrates opens the door to new applications such as roll-up displays and displays embedded in fabrics or clothing.

2. Lifespan is one of the main disadvantages right now.. but your numbers are a bit old according to recent sources, 30k hours seems to be where they are at now.. again see link for source..

3. Do not know where you get they are easily damaged, and talk about something easily fixed.. by putting a plain of glass over it, or working a complete enclosure.. OLED are used on outdoor screens for stadiums and billboards.. if they can handle outdoors.. they should be able to handle inside a tv
