That be a dangerous assumption Luke.
Factory prices in CN are 2% to 5% flexible with volume because margins
are razor thin and market very competitive.

Normally you have to look for alternative technologies for price
reduction such as the flexible continuous film OLED displays
that are due out soon. Because its printed onto a continuous film,
the production rate is a lot faster, and so hopefully it will
be a lot cheaper when production ramps up.
