That's a real shame: FED and SED are the advanced TV tech I've been waiting for for more than 10 years now. I'm site it would scale to large sets more easily than OLED, and produce much better picture quality than Plasma and LED.

If SEDs would have come out two years ago, like they were suppose to, they might have been able to grab a small portion of the HDTV market, but they've missed to boat. To introduce it now is pointless.

Way to go Applied Nanotech you just sued your technology and yourself out of existence.

@baltwade: If the image quality rivals a High Definition CRT, why couldn't SED still edge out LCD, Plasma and OLED?

@baltwade: I don't think it's too late for SED. I believe it can still jump ahead of OLED as far as quality and affordability.

What is SED? What is SED-alternative?

@Gann: Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display, or SED for short. Basically it combines the terrific contrast, responsiveness and sharpness of conventional CRT monitors with the power efficiency, size, and thickness of LCDs or Plasmas.
[gizmodo.com]

The surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) is a flat-panel, high-resolution display currently under development by Canon and Toshiba. It is expected to gain wide acceptance for use in television receivers. Some SEDs have a diagonal measurement exceeding one meter (approximately 40 inches), yet they consume only about 50 percent of the power of cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays, and 33 percent of the power of plasma displays having a comparable diagonal measurement. The SED consists of an array of electron emitters and a layer of phosphor, separated by a small space from which all the air has been evacuated. Each electron emitter represents one pixel (picture element). The SED requires no electron-beam focusing, and operates at a much lower voltage than a CRT. The brightness and contrast compare favorably with high-end CRTs. Prototype electron emitters have been developed with diameters of a few nanometers (billionths of a meter). This leads some engineers to believe that SED technology can offer unprecedented image resolution.

@Gann: I would guess the SED altrernative is similar to Sony's FED [gizmodo.com]
