SED TV Reviews

From two different Canon SED TV articles:

Canon Anelva Corp., a provider of manufacturing equipment for semiconductors and display panels, plans to boost production capacity at its Fuji factory, Yamanashi Prefecture, by 80% over the next three years to get ready to make equipment for SED TVdisplay panels based on surface conduction electron emitter display (SED) technology, according to the Nikkei Business Daily. A fourth building at the Canon subsidiary’s Fuji facility for cutting and welding steel and aluminum parts will be online by August; cleanroom and other facility expansions will bring the total investment to about 2 billion yen (US $16.9 million).

Also from the same publication regarding the Nano “problem”:

Will Canon make a do-or-die resistance to the court’s decision or seek an out-of-court settlement? There is, of course, the third option of withdrawing from the business. Canon plans to release new TV sets equipped with SED panels in the October-December period. With the deadline drawing near, Canon is now being forced to make a difficult decision.

Both of these articles werre released around April 16th. It seems that withdrawing from the business may be out of the picture with the new investment announced. Let’s hope so.
