Where do you get the 3.4 from? 34% is 0.34 if that is what you were going for, but you wouldn't multiply it like that.

The 2nd grade math goes like this:
$20x4x(0.9/0.66)=$109.09

And I still don't see what size dependent failure you are talking about.
Your math looks right.

I think that the rate of defects is related to the size of the screen. We may not be talking about a pixel failing. Instead we may be concerned with several contiguous capsules failing. However, it is still related to the size of the screen that is being produced. The more capsules that are produced, the greater the chance that there is a failure amongst them. Further, at 150 DPI like e-ink pearl, a capsule would not be any different in size than pixel on a high res screen. The pixels on Apple's retina displays would be smaller than the capsules.
