After looking at a couple of sources, http://proav.pubdyn.com/Tech_Apps/August85200535903PM.htm http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/cm/japanmarkt-fpd-04.html
ELD life was quoted as 10,000 hours. That works out to 1.14 years at one hour a day (10,000/24/365). If others are interested in finding other sources, let's see whether Tom's fear was more than gossip--so far, his earlier notion is being confirmed. But I suspect he would be happy to find out that he can keep the display longer than originally reported.
