INTRODUCTION
A

surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) is a display technology which has been developing various flat panel displays by a number of companies Co-developed by Canon and Toshiba Corporation A best inter mix of LCD & CRT technologies An SED display is very similar to a CRT It uses surface conduction electron emitters for every individual display pixel.

HISTORY
Canon

began SED research in 1986 In 2004 canon and Toshiba announced a joint development agreement targeting commercial production of SEDs by the end of 2005 During the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada , Toshiba showed working prototypes of SEDs On 25 May 2007, Canon announced that the prolonged litigation would postpone the launch of SED televisions Canon officially announced on 25 May 2010 the end of the development of SED TVs for the home consumer market

TECHNOLOGY

Electrons

are scattered at the receiving pole and are accelerated toward the display surface
The

surface conduction electron emitter apparatus consists of a thin slit across which electrons tunnel when excited by moderate voltages
.

HOW IT WORKS

It

is similar to CRT displays but here it uses millions of surface conducting electron emitters (SCE). The SCEs are arranged in a matrix form .

CONT.

Each pixel has a set of three SCEs and for a high definition display we find 6 million SCEs.

Working of sed

Internal structure

CONT
SED screens consist of two glass sheets separated by a few millimeters, the rear layer supporting the emitters and the front the phosphors. When the electrons cross electric poles across the thin slit, some are scattered at the receiving pole They are accelerated towards the display surface by a large voltage gradient between the display panel and the surface conduction electron emitter apparatus. The SED display offer brightness, color performance and viewing angles on par with CRTs.

ADVANTAGES
0.2

milliseconds response time. Brightness of 450 cd/m 2 . 50,000:1 contrast ratio. at the 2006 CES show, Toshiba's final versions of SEDs will ship with a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 Excellent color and contrast potential Wide viewing angle Low power consumption

IMAGES

Provide

dynamic color expressions, a sharp picture, and perform faster video response . It possible to create screens of more than 40" in size that are only several centimeters thick.

SED CHARACTERISTICS
Very

high contrast ratio. Fast response time. High brightness. 180 degree Viewing angle Viewable in bright room. It can be used in mobile device display. Low power consumption

DISADVANTAGES
SED

may also be susceptible to screen burn- In. High production cost Unknown life expectancy Currently prototype only

SED COMPARED TO LCD

LCD's

highly directional light, it has a limited angle of view This will not be an issue for SED's self illuminated phosphors. LCD does have the advantage of not being susceptible to burn-in which any device using phosphors will, including SED. SED is likely to use about two-thirds the power of a similarly sized LCD. LCD generally suffers from the same black level issues SED is usable in bright room but LCD is not usable
16

SED COMPARED TO CRT

A

traditional CRT has one electron gun that scans side to side and from top to bottom CRTs are typically as wide as they are deep. but SED need only a few inches of thickness . Screen size can be made as large as the manufacturer dares CRTs can have image challenges around the far edges of the picture tube, which is a non-issue for SED

PRICING
expensive

in early production. If it works, the use of inkjet technology to make SED displays rather than the more expensive photolithography process used in LCD panels should help cost management.

18

FUTURE SCOPE
SED

will be the next generation display technology in the nearby future.

SED

will enter production and compete with LCDs in all areas

All

of the claims made by the backers of SED you would think that there should be no reason to buy any other type of display.

CONCLUSION
SEDs are the combine form of the LCDs and the CRTs which have the slim factor like a liquid crystal display and have brighter picture and the quality like cathode ray tube display. The SEDs have superior contrast ratios and viewing angles consume less power and have high color performance
