FED TV | Field Emission Display

Very good FED TV | Field Emission display demo video

An excellent video explanation of how FED TV – Field Emission Displays work and how they are superior to LCD or plasma TV. A must see as it helps explain FED technology in a fairly simple manner.

TECO Nanotech to join field emission display – FED TV -manufacturers

Taiwan based TECO Nanotech Co. Ltd. has announced that they are going to be “focusing on the research, development and manufacturing of carbon nano tube field emission display to step into the field of FPD panels and modular”.

The predecessor of TECO Nanotech Co., Ltd. was Teco Information Co., Ltd. which was founded in 1989 and supplying color monitors for domestic and overseas markets.

As this company has a solid background in monitor production already, it will be very interesting to see how their research and manufacturing progresses over the next while.

Field Emission Technologies is the potential leader in the FED monitor / FED TV field but it’s great to see competition emerging so soon after their announcement of the production of FED panels starting late next year.

Field emission display video, FED TV comparison with LCD TV.

Although Youtube is not a great source of hi-def video, here’s a comparison between FED (field emission) TV and LCD TV. The frame rate posible with the field emission display practically guarantees no blurring even with the fastest motion.

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.”

Excellent field emission display (FED TV) article

I just found a great article about Field Emission Technologies production plans for FED TV or field emission display monitors.

Here are some quotes:

According to the spokesperson, initial production will start at the end of 2009, and will be limited to 10,000 units in the first year, all of them business-focused monitors for use in applications like TV station master monitors and medical scanning equipment.

However, while he did not give a date, the spokesperson said FET would eventually move into televisions.

“We will make televisions in the future, but if we jump straight into TVs, we will need a huge amount of money and a large production run. At this stage, we’re looking at production runs of 10,000 units in our first year for a 26-inch size.”

The spokesperson said sizes could start from 17-inches, though.

“When we move into production runs in the tens of thousands, we will use a second line, and if, for example, we decide to make panels in the 40 or 50-inch sizes, we will focus on technology to cut more panels from the one piece of motherglass,” he said.

As a panel manufacturer, not a TV brand in its own right, FET will badge televisions with customers’ names.

(I’m guessing here that Sony would be the first!)

“The brand they will be sold under is still up in the air, but we are a panel maker, so … we will not make the final sets. Companies who wish to put their names to one of our panels will simply become one of our clients,” he said.

Field Emission Technologies to invest up to $283 million on FED panels

Finally some great news from Field Emission Technologies on field emission display (FED) panel production.

“TOKYO, July 2 (Reuters) – A flat panel startup affiliated with Sony Corp (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Wednesday it will spend up to 30 billion yen ($283 million) to make new display panels based on field emission display technology by the end of next year.”

“Field Emission Technologies’ production capacity will initially be equivalent to 10,000 units of 26-inch panels a month.

It aims for annual sales of 25 billion yen in the second year of commercial production and targets 100 billion yen in revenues eventually.

The company plans to market the new panels, capable of recreating natural colour and offering fast-moving images without blurring, as displays for medical and other professional monitors as well as for high-end TVs.”

Fantastic news for FED TV fans. See full story here. Field Emission Display announcement.

Field emission display including electron emission source formed in multi-layer structure
Abstract
  • A field emission display includes first and second substrates provided opposing one another with a predetermined gap therebetween; electron emission sources provided on one of the first and second substrates; an electron emission inducing assembly for inducing the emission of electrons from the electron emission sources; and an illuminating assembly provided on the substrate on which the electron emission sources are not formed, the illuminating assembly realizing images by the emission of electrons from the electron emission sources. The electron emission sources include a carbon nanotube layer and a base layer, the base layer connecting the carbon nanotube layer to the substrate and applying a voltage to the carbon nanotube layer required for the emission of electrons. Also, the carbon nanotube layer is provided on the base layer in a state substantially un-mixed with the base layer.

    Field emission display (FED) monitors displayed at NAB 2008

    Display Daily has a good summary of some of the latest monitor products at NAB 2008. Amnong the latest LED and LCD technology were monitors from Field Emission Technologies. FE Tech’s display again compared the FED monitor to a reference CRT, with no discernable differences.

    “Of course, this is to be expected, as the FED display utilizes phosphor-based light generation from the emission devices.

    The writer found that “while LED-backplanes seem to be offering color and contrast performance approaching CRTs, there may still be a slight edge to the FED technology in terms of contrast and image lag, the latter promising 240fps performance.”

    However, the concern is whether or not LCD technology will catch up before FED monitors are commercially available.
