I first learned of this on the discovery channel, it is supposed to replace LCD displays...but then again so was plasma, its expected to be released in Q4 2007

A Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display (SED) is a flat panel display technology that uses surface conduction electron emitters for every individual display pixel. The surface conduction electron emitter emits electrons that excite a phosphor coating on the display panel, the same basic concept found in traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions. This means that SEDs can combine the slim form factor of LCDs and Plasma displays with the high contrast ratios, refresh rates and overall better picture quality of CRTs. Canon also claims that SEDs consume less power than LCD displays.


they were to be released in mid 2007 by toshiba, but now due to another hardware glitch the wait continues

Ooohh.. Nice. When that comes out hopefully it'll be competatively priced with LCD and have 1600x1200 capability with 19" viewing size..

I'm very interested in SEDs. They've been talking about it for around 2 1/2 years now and I can't wait to see the initial models. I made a post a while back with some of the specifications and links to some resources if you want to add it to this Info: What is an SED display topic HERE.

If it doesn't have all that radiation, and ruin my eyes like my old CRT did..then maybe I can get one....but if it's gonna ruin my vision even more...then eff that.
