Yet another display...

The SED (Surface Conduction Electron Emmitter Display) display, being
developed by Cannon and Toshiba, is essentially a flat CRT (I actually had
this idea when I was 10, but sadly lacked the technical expertise (not to
mention 21st century miniturization technology) to develop it).

This really looks promising, and would likely supplant plasma if the prices
come down (which may be likely)...

Check it out...

Looks like it would probably have the same burn in issues as CRTs and Plasma
though.

It will be interesting to see if they can get the pixel resolution as
fine as they say.

probably more in line with direct view CRT burn, which is lower than PDP or
RP thanks to lower temps/intensities and more stable phosphors.

What is more stable about direct view phosphors vs RPTV and PDP phosphors?

If there is a difference, I would suspect that RP phosphors are more
stable if only to deal with the higher energy per area.

the statbility difference is between UV excited (pdp) and electron phosphors
(rp/crt)

yes, the increased burn on rp is because the are driven hard and hot

Field-emission Displays (FED) have been proposed for a number of years:

Progress has been slow because of several technical hurdles. However, it
does sound like Cannon and Toshiba are overcoming some of the problems.

To all:

If there is less burn-in for the phosphors in a direct view TV when compared
to a rear projection TV, it is because the electron guns of the CRTs of the
rear-projection TV must be driven very hard ...correct?

The idea behind the SED (and similarly the FED, Field-emission Display) is
that there are millions of tiny electron emitters, each of which operates at
very low voltages, perhaps as low as 12V. In an SED or FED, the distance
the electron must travel is very minute before it strikes the phosphor. (By
contrast, the electron gun in a direct view TV operates in the thousands of
volts.)

Bear in mind too the ratio of emitters to pixels. In direct view TV you
have one electron gun (emitter) for all of your pixels. In the rear
projection TV you have 3 tubes, each with up to a million pixels and each
with just one emitter. In the SED you have hundreds of thousands or
millions of emitters for perhaps as many pixels. Considering the low
voltage used and the ratio of emitters to pixels, I would think that at the
instant that an electron hits the phosphor in a SED or FED, the
instantaneous energy delivered would be thousands of times less than that
delivered to the phosphor in a direct view TV. Wouldn't that suggest that
any phosphor damage in the SED or FED would be at worst equal to that of a
direct view TV?

Forgive me if my "facts" regarding SED and FED are not totally precise. I
am far from an expert on this subject, though I have been reading about it
for many years. Feedback is most welcome.
