A couple of SED TV questions have been out there for a while. So I asked the SED project team for answers.
1. Is the SED panel subject to any kind of “burn-in” when operating?
We cannnot state that no “burn-in” of any kind will occur in SED panels,
but we do expect the same level of durability as that of the cathode-ray tube.
2. An Australian newspaper stated that SED colours age at different rates? Is there any truth to this?
Basically, we’ve not disclosed fundamental technologies for SED panels; therefore,
we cannot comment on information for color lifespans of SED.
This one seems more related to OLED TV panels from what I’ve found. Not definite answers for either question but hope it helps clear things up a bit.

Hi.
Both SED and CRT use phospor colour pixels, so it does not have any difference between Red, Green and Blue phosphors agening time… I think, that it is only matter how strong anode current does the SED panel need, and how “hot” does the electron current make the phosphor surface, so that it could “burn-in” like some old time CRT´s made ages ago.
I`m not concerned any of those claims, and I´m happy with my 32″ 16/9 Finlux CRT- tv, and the next TV that I will buy is definately a SED tv, not those crap Plasma and LCD tv´s!
Thanks for Thoshiba and Canon for SED-technology!!!

I don’t think “burn in” will be a problem either. Who out there has had a burn in problem with a CRT TV? How about plasma???

The burn-in is sometimes visible, when CRT-tv´s were used as monitors in supermarkets or some hotels, when there is same still logo, or screen background on for a very long time period (years) with full contrast settings, so you absolutely cannot make that happen with SED or CRT with normal moving information picture, not even with short (hours) pause screens with DVD movies or videos.
And sorry for my typing error… Thank you Toshiba and Canon!
