Field Emission Technologies to produce 60-inch FED panels?

I

t's been a hot minute since we've heard anything from Field Emission Technologies, but apparently the Sony spin-off is gearing up to make some serious noise in the industry. Field emission display (FED) still remains a relatively unknown panel technology, but FET is hoping to change all that by introducing a 60-inch display that will be "more energy efficient and sharper than [an] LCD." Analysts assert that FED will actually be a suitable alternative to OLED, and while Sony's own XEL-1 is fine and dandy, that 11-inch screen sort of renders it useless for home theater use. Reportedly, FET is "in negotiation with Pioneer regarding mass-production of field emission displays," and while the first batch of 60-inchers will likely hit hospital wards and TV studios first, you better believe the general public will be next in line.

What up with the shiny jacket?

To protect against the "emissions?"

No scantily-clad Korean model?

FED is SED with a different emiter. The emiter was the technology that was licenced in SED. FED doesn't have that problem.

Finally, some good news on the FED front. Hopefully Canon will get the SED out there this year as well for some interesting competition.
