A very interesting article at DisplayDaily provides some thought provoking information on the future of SED TV and perhaps all FED based TV technology.
“In a November 13th press release issued in Tokyo, Canon announced that its Board of Directors had agreed to acquire a majority interest of Tokki Corporation and make Tokki a consolidated subsidiary of Canon. One of Tokki’s businesses is the development, design, manufacturing and marketing of production equipment for organic LED displays (as well as thin-film solar panels).
The press release quotes Canon’s global corporation plan, launched in 2006, which says that, in addition to “securing the overwhelming number one position worldwide in all current core businesses, Canon is focusing on the launching of display operations as a new business. As one of the initiatives in these efforts, the company is diligently working to develop organic LED elements and process technologies targeting the application of an organic LED display product.” ”
No mention of SED TV. Not very inspiring for SED TV fans and enthusiasts but there it is. Standing by for any news to the contrary.
