Sony showcases new display technology

















Right up there in the future watch category, Sony recently demonstrated their new display technology that will make the current LCD and Plasma displays obsolete.

Sony’s new FED (Field Emission Display) technology uses a grid of carbon nanotubes to emit electrons that tingle the phosphor dots that create the display.

To display this new technology, Sony used a 19.2 inch monitor supporting a resolution of 1280x960 and a killer contrast ratio of 20,000:1. The good part is that displays using this technology will be cheaper than LCDs because they require fewer components. The bad part is that FED won’t see the light of day till 2009.
