I’ve previously posted that Toshiba and Canon will begin mass production of SED displays in January of next year. [Edit: that post was wrong. It’s 2007. Sometimes I think it’s 2006 already!] In a mid-term business plan briefing, President Atsutoshi Nishida confirmed these plans the January 2007 date. He said that Toshiba plans “nurture [SED and HD-DVD] products into our core businesses in order to secure growth”.

This is great news for such a promising technology. SED displays promise to be thin like LCD and plasma, but to have a picture quality like CRT.
