Canon SED flat screen TVs are coming

Canon and Toshiba have created a new flat screen display technology called surface-conduction electron-emitter display, or SED. Canon has invested $1.7 billion in this new technology. The new TVs they will produce are brighter, sharper and use less energy than current LCD or Plasma TVs according to the "Canon's Big Gun" article. Expect to see these on the market in 2007. I can't wait. I wonder how much the first ones will cost? That cost factor will be a challenge but it is nice to see that innovation in display technology continues.
