Here's one OLED product I hope we don't see in the UK.

Shown off by Samsung at CES, it's the possible future of RF(ID) cards. The OLED screen displays a 360 degree rotating video of the owner's head...

It works by holding the ID card against a special RF-ID Reader, which animates the video portrait.

Thanks to Engadget for this one, which writes:

"Samsung Mobile Display's Specimen Display Card Prototype is a pretty bog-standard ID - until you bring it within range of an ISO 14443 RFID card reader, at which point the OLED display springs to life, summoning a 360 degree closeup of the card holder's head.Looks like it just got a little harder to change your identity, no?"
