The news have been making the rounds, and I’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop. But it hasn’t. The news is that Toshiba and Canon are working to have some SED displays rolling off the assembly line by “early 2008″. Which, well, isn’t really anything new. We’ve known this before.

But ah well. Maybe we didn’t know that the assembly line is to make 75,000 units a month. Or that the assembly line is being put together this year. Mmm. That’s about it.

In case you didn’t know, SED displays are thin like plasmas and LCDs, but use CRT-like emitters - lots of them. They shoot forth from the tiny emitters and hit a phosphor screen, just like a CRT. So therefore the picture quality is up there, just like a CRT. And my guess is that SED displays will also have burn-in, just like CRT. SIGH. I guess no display is perfect!
