And where do you think that paint ends up? Do you think it magically disappears in 50+ years?
No, it just dissolves into the environment around your house, and from there slowly works it's way up the food chain until it reaches you again. It is in no way easy to avoid lead once it is released into environment, because it never disappears.
Enclosed lead, as I assume it would be in an OLED, could be safe. But only if disposal is safe, and you actually take the lead out. Not so safe if it just goes to a landfill where it will eventually leak out.
