Nanotech Brings Cheap Flat TVs From Diamond Dust

neutron_p writes "Nanotech scientists are going to develop new TV display technology made from diamond dust. It opens up the possibility of cheaper and more power efficient flat panel displays, for use in wide screen digital TVs and many other applications. Toshiba recently announced plans to launch a television based on a new flat-panel display technology called SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display) in 2005. Sony and others have been working for several years on another technology called FED (Field Emission Display) but that too has yet to reach commercialization."

    This post made me think of Dustin Diamond, famous for his roles Screech on Saved by the Bell, Screech on Saved by the Bell: The College Years, and Screech on Saved by the Bell: The New Class. Oh, what a career. OK, now you can get back to what you were discussing, which is a yawn compared to the pal of Zack Morris and A.C. Slater.
