Can the miniature OLEDs not go to 144Hz yet? Or is it because of power/heat density?

Apparently there's something to do with phosphor afterglow in OLEDs, the persistence after a pixel was turned off? No one seem to talk about it in the public but it seems to be a known issue among VR device designers.
