Are Nanotube Monitors In Your Future?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the science-fiction-science-fact dept.

cmburns69 writes "There is an article over on CNET News about some new nanotube technology which could replace LCD flat panel displays. "These 'field effect displays,' or FEDs, will consume less energy than plasma or liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs, deliver a better picture and even cost less.". The article is mostly focused on the FED technology, but also includes a summary of what other new display technology is coming up such as SEDs and slim CRTs. "

    "These , will consume less energy than plasma or liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs, deliver a better picture and even cost less.".

    This seems to be the spin for any new display technology that's being hawked, regardless of development, deployment or truth.

    So are you saying that LCDs and Plasma TVs are the end-all for TV development? These new devices are betterfastercheaper, but that doesn't mean today! It means that after the initial development period, this technology will replace the older version. It's an evolution of technology.
