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.”

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.

    Field Emission Technologies to release high end FED monitors in 2009

    According to IDG news service, Field Emission Technologies is planning to release a high end pro video FED monitor in 2009.  Spokesman Norihito Nishimoto said that the monitors will be offered in a range of sizes up to 32 inches.

    In theory field emission display monitors have a number of advantages including low power consumption and high frame rates up to 240fps. However, Nishimoto said that the problem is that Field Emission Technologies doesn’t have a production line yet for its displays, and startup costs will initially drive up prices. He also didn’t comment on any plans to build a FED TV/monitor production line.

    Latest OLED TV news

    As the FED TV scene is quiet at the moment, I’ll report on the latest OLED TV developments.

    Toshiba has withdrawn from the OLED TV market citing mass production costs and concerns about power consumption. This has to be a blow for Toshiba after pulling out of the SED TV joint venture with Canon. What next Toshiba?

    Samsung is on track to show a 31″ OLED TV at CES 2008 in Las Vegas next month. They have also announced the production of a huge 40″ OLED TV. This has been compared to Sony’s XEL-1 OLED TV which is a bit like comparing apples to oranges. Try walking into a store and buying a Samsung OLED TV.

    More FED TV news as it develops. Happy Holidays!
