Exactly, this should be used in the future as en example of how the patent system no longer promotes progress and in fact kills progress and innovation.

Shame as this tech looked astonishing.]]>May 25th 2010 3:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 25th 2010 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 25th 2010 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 25th 2010 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 25th 2010 3:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 25th 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 25th 2010 4:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/

The problem specific with OLED was the material lifetime and that has now reached LCD levels; the cost of both technologies was extremely high but OLED was winning the race in driving the cost down. There wasn't any reason that this would succeed unless they could beat OLED on price, which they failed to do.]]>May 25th 2010 5:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 25th 2010 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 25th 2010 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 25th 2010 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 25th 2010 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/

I've been looking forward to SED ever since first hearing about it all those years ago! I've still been telling my friends about it. People reported that the image was so amazing that it looked like they were seeing HDTV for the first time all over again :(

All I wanted was to get to see to see it in person one day...I can't believe it's been killed off :(]]>May 25th 2010 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/seds-dead-baby-canon-abandons-development-of-new-hdtvs-we-tak/May 30th 2010 8:26PM
