SED Marches On
SED seems to be the holy grail that people are waiting for. It has the picture quality of a CRT with the thin form factor of an LCD or plasma. But it’s had a bumpy ride so far, and some people are thinking that Canon and Toshiba can’t make them cost effectively. But they’re working on it.
Canon said that it will purchase all the outstanding shares of SED Inc, and Toshiba will share all its shares in SED Inc to Canon as well. This is to avoid a patent dispute, but SED business will be transferred to Canon. But Canon still plans to sell SED displays, for now.

Sounds like moving the chairs around on the titanic.

I have not seen SED, so I can’t make a direct comparison. However, I CAN say that the Sony OLED displays I saw at CES were absolutely outstanding. I have never seen color fidelity and contrast like that in a display. Too bad it is years away from production. So if SED can approach or surpass OLED quality, then we have a lot to look forward to!
