The January 2005 issue of Nikkei Electronics Asia has a cover story called “SED: Rising Star in TV Market? “. The article outlines a joint venture between Canon and Toshiba to start producing Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display (SED) TV panels in August 2005. Some of the advantages of SED panels include: the displays are only a few millimeters thick, their image quality is better than that of LCD and Plasma displays, in the areas of brightness, pixel response time (1ms), contrast and color reproduction.
The JV, to be called SED Inc., will gradually ramp up production between now and 2010. Looks to be a promising technology.

I can’t wait to get a good look at one of those. I can wait for the price though.
