Hugh,

I witnessed the SED Canon small display for a few minutes and was of good quality; the booth still
indicates that SED is in a "technical statement" stage, no $, no specific dates. I am putting the
rest of the info I researched together to follow up my writings of the 2005 CES about it. It is not
assured that SED would produce sets on the size range you want Hugh.

Best Regards,

Rodolfo La Maestra

Rodolfo,

Is SED the technology that was discussed several months ago as a potential
legitimate replacement for CRT RP?

Sorry Rodolfo,

I am at times an impatient person and I know how extremely busy you are so
twice in two days I have answered my own inquiry, for those who may not be
familiar with SED, here goes:

Toshiba Canon SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display)

TalkBack: Add your opinion
The product: It's not officially a product yet, meaning Toshiba didn't
announce final pricing or availability, but on paper, SED, codeveloped with
camera maker Canon, looks promising. A flat-panel display technology, SED
(Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display) uses phosphors activated by an
electron emitter, just like standard CRT tube televisions. Supposedly, the
result is tube-level picture quality in a flat form factor. Details were
sketchy, but the first model should be 50 inches in size and have full
1,920x1,080 resolution.
SED technology
50-inch flat-panel HDTV
1,080 resolution
The prospects: First-generation 50-inch SED sets could go on sale as early
as the end of 2005. Prices are sure to be very high at first, a bit higher
than the biggest-screen LCDs (more than $10,000). The stakes are also high;
if the technology catches on, it could well challenge LCD and plasma, which
currently don't quite approach CRT-level image quality.

Now I'm commenting on my own posts. The info below was from last years
CEDIA. The comments in this article insinuate that a 50" display would be
on the horizon, given Rodolfo's comments that does not appear to be the
case, at least at this stage. I am curious Rodolfo as to what gave you the
impression that the displays will not be on the larger side? I guess I will
need to wait for your report. I have had high hopes for this technology as
it seemed to be the best solution to replacing CRT RP. I have very little
faith in any of the other current technologies in terms of their ability to
properly reproduce blacks and primary colors. That lack of faith was only
fueled by the earlier discussion on the new Samsung DLPs. It seems that we
are in a catch 22.
Manufacturers hold out the carrot of 1080P but cannot come up with a proper
display to take advantage of it's full capabilities at least at the consumer
level. Watch and wait, is definitely my mantra.

Anthony,

I am always careful with the way I use words.

I never said they will not on the larger side, even 37" is large enough for some people, please
carefully read my statement at the bottom of this email, I said:

"It is not assured that SED would produce sets on the size range you want Hugh.", the last time we
exchanged emails about replacing his set Hugh was looking in the 60-70" range.

Please look at the CES reports (05 and maybe 04 as well) in the Toshiba section, I provided a
summary of how the technology works, how fast it is, etc.

Best Regards,

Rodolfo La Maestra

Sorry Rodolfo,

I didn't mean to misquote you. I remember the conversation well between you
and Hugh on this as I have a similar interest. I would hope for at least a
60" but I will have to go back over your earlier reports to see what the
technological glitch may be that would keep them from getting into the "big
screen" range.

As from one who has seen these SED demonstrations I can say with little
hesitation that this technology will have a strong impact upon other flat
panel makers. It should be noted, of course, that Samsung was showing a very
high contrast ratio LCD, which looks to counter the contrast advantage of
SED. Given that equivalent competitive talent will be assigned to drive
these technologies it then will boil down to cost and performance. I am told
that the manufacturing cost for SED is not as great as is that of larger
LCDs and their (SED) strategy in promoting and seeking the over 50 inch
space is to insure that they are the price/performance leader in flat panel.
The 40 inch "sweet spot", which LCD now works to, is still shy of what NHK
has said is the ideal size for HDTV--60 inch diagonal. In terms of image
quality it is the most promising technology to come along since the CRT
itself. It even improves on the CRT (besides its envelope shape) since it is
pixel addressed and does not have the distortions which a scanning sweep can
produce from magnetic influences and manufacturing impreciseness in a real
world CRT conditions. Add to the lower production cost a factor of "energy
savings" (50% less energy consumed than in a plasma, and something over 25%
less than with a LCD, and you begin to see a winner taking shape. California
and other states, where energy conservation measures have recently been
passed, are creating difficult conditions for CE makers. Some manufacturers
of set top boxes have seen their products rejected by those states for
"excessive" power consumption. Power consumption is a big issue. From what I
saw at the show we will not be unhappy if this flat panel technology takes
hold. It was stunning.

Thanks Dale,

I appreciate your comments on this more than I can say. You are a fountain
of good information.
I would purchase something like this without hesitation. It gives me hope
at any rate. I may just be one of the later adopters of 1080P as a result,
but I've always believed that anything worthwhile is worth waiting for.

pixel addressed and does not have the distortions which a scanning sweep can
produce from magnetic influences and manufacturing impreciseness in a real
world CRT conditions. Add to the lower production cost a factor of "energy
savings" (50% less energy consumed than in a plasma, and something over 25%
less than with a LCD, and you begin to see a winner taking shape. California
and other states, where energy conservation measures have recently been
passed, are creating difficult conditions for CE makers. Some manufacturers
of set top boxes have seen their products rejected by those states for
"excessive" power consumption. Power consumption is a big issue. From what I
saw at the show we will not be unhappy if this flat panel technology takes
hold. It was stunning.

Sorry Rodolfo,

I am at times an impatient person and I know how extremely busy you are so
twice in two days I have answered my own inquiry, for those who may not be
familiar with SED, here goes:

Toshiba Canon SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display)

TalkBack: Add your opinion
The product: It's not officially a product yet, meaning Toshiba didn't
announce final pricing or availability, but on paper, SED, codeveloped with
camera maker Canon, looks promising. A flat-panel display technology, SED
(Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display) uses phosphors activated by an
electron emitter, just like standard CRT tube televisions. Supposedly, the
result is tube-level picture quality in a flat form factor. Details were
sketchy, but the first model should be 50 inches in size and have full
1,920x1,080 resolution.
SED technology
50-inch flat-panel HDTV
1,080 resolution
The prospects: First-generation 50-inch SED sets could go on sale as early
as the end of 2005. Prices are sure to be very high at first, a bit higher
than the biggest-screen LCDs (more than $10,000). The stakes are also high;
if the technology catches on, it could well challenge LCD and plasma, which
currently don't quite approach CRT-level image quality.

Rodolfo,

Is SED the technology that was discussed several months ago as a potential
legitimate replacement for CRT RP?

Hugh,

I witnessed the SED Canon small display for a few minutes and was of good
quality; the booth still
indicates that SED is in a "technical statement" stage, no $, no specific
dates. I am putting the
rest of the info I researched together to follow up my writings of the 2005
CES about it. It is not
assured that SED would produce sets on the size range you want Hugh.

Best Regards,

Rodolfo La Maestra

Rodolfo,

Did you see the SED exhibit and if so what are your impressions?

Regards,
Hugh
