Once a promising new TV display technology that was set to replace LCDs, SED TVs are no more as Canon abandons development of the next generation TV tech, according to The Nikkei.
SED, which stands for Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display, promised to offer blacks not possible on today's LCD/LED/Plasma TVs, but still in a thin format. However, high production costs, and an even costlier patent dispute, seems to have ended the promise of SED TVs.
With SED out of the way, OLED is favourites to be the next "big" display technology, with Canon still having an ongoing development process for this technology. OLED will offer excellent black levels, and an even thinner screen than today's TVs, superior viewing angles and refresh rates.
