OLED is a product which naturally self-destructs as it's used, especially when used in computer displays and other majority static image cases, so of course it's more profitable than an LCD panel which has matured to the point where its lifespan is no longer measured.

Plasma screens consumed huge amounts of power and burned in or burned out. LCDs cut the power and fairly quickly reached high durability levels, especially after the switch to LED backlightning from CCFL. OLEDs now consume high levels of power and burn themselves out, and are prone to burn in from static images in a relatively quick period of time, with manufacturers not willing to guarantee the panel will remain defect free after a year for most models while the more advanced ones only get a 5 year warranty.
