So are we talking CRT Flat panel in exchange for the headaches that come from LCDs? Potentially, check this out…

Large flat-screen televisions for digital broadcasting are currently the focus of much attention. Heralded as the new generation of high-quality large flat-screen display, the SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display), jointly developed by Canon and Toshiba Corporation, is almost ready for practical application. Its greatest feature is the ability to produce vivid color images that surpass conventional types of display. Also, the SED delivers exceptional overall image quality—fast video-response performance, high contrast, high gradation levels—and low power consumption.

The advent of digital Hi-Vision broadcasting and the broadband network era, along with nextgeneration DVDs, digital cameras and digital video camcorders, is expected to fuel the spread of highdefinition, high-quality next-generation content. These trends have led to demand for larger screens and higher image quality. However, enlarging CRT (cathode ray tube) screens, today’s most common display, entails making the units significantly heavier and deeper. A major challenge facing display manufacturers has been how to develop a new kind of display offering the same picture quality as a CRT in a slim yet large unit. Canon’s SED has successfully met this challenge. [Read the rest]
