And here's why Samsung and Nanosys are talking about a hybrid OLED/QLED.

Looks like they've got a ways to go on blue qdot lifetime when used as electroluminescent QLED. This is a good read.

Abstract
The operating lifetime of blue quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLED) is currently a short slab for this emerging display technology. To pinpoint the origin of device degradation, here we apply multiple techniques to monitor the electric-field distribution and space-charge accumulation across the multilayered structure before and after lifetime tests. Evident by charge-modulated electro-absorption and capacitance-voltage characteristics, the excited electrons in blue quantum dots (QD) are prone to cross the type II junction between the QD emission layer and the electron-transporting layer (ETL) due to the offset of conduction band minimum, leading to space-charge accumulation and operating-voltage rise in the ETL. Therefore, unlike those very stable red devices, of which the lifetime is primarily limited by the slow degradation of hole-transporting layer, the poor lifetime of blue QLED originates from the fast degradation at the QD-ETL junction. Materials engineering for efficient electron injection is prerequisite for the boost of operating lifetime.
