Field Emission Technologies to buy Pioneer PDP plant for $200 million.

Field Emission Technologies Inc. will be buying Pioneer’s plasma TV plant for $200 million. The plant will be used for production of field emission displays and FED TV’s starting with a 26″ model.

“Displaybank reported the factory in Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan, is scheduled to stop PDP production in January 2009. The company anticipates being fully operational and making FED displays by the end of 2009 with an expected production capacity of 10K units per month.”

They also had some good first hand impressions of the field emision diplay from FET.

“More recently, at NAB this past Spring, FET had an exhibit at the broadcast industry show with a similar set up to CEATEC. Our analyst Aldo Cugnini said of that display demo “…there was no difference discernable between the FED and CRT monitors. Of course, this is to be expected, as the FED display utilizes phosphor-based light generation from the emission devices.”

At the time, FET said they planned to produce a line of full-HD monitors that target the high-end broadcast market, medical and other niche markets as replacements for broadcast quality CRTs.”

    Now lets see, FED picture quality is on par with
    CRT, you need to put FED on a stand which will
    be almost taking up the same space as a CRT!!
    if the pictures no better, why will companies
    change over to FED? in these times of uncertainty
    one has to reign in expenditure,
