Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The International Trade Commission has decided to ban BOE’s OLED screens from the US. However, a display expert says companies like Apple and Google can still sell devices with BOE screens in the US. The ruling could adversely affect the repair market, though.

Lots of people die in Star Trek, and do so pretty horrifically. Boldly going is deadly business, but there’s always something particularly grim when tragedy strikes at the lowest rung on Starfleet’s officer ladder: the lowly ensigns that keep any good starship or space station humming along as they try to survive long enough to eke it out to lieutenant junior grade and beyond.
