SED line
Originally planned for late 06, 36” demo at CES
2006, 1920x1080 50”+ screen sizes were in the
plans.
In March 06, Toshiba and Canon announced their
postponement of the launch of SED televisions until
July 2007 and availability until 4Q07; Beijing
Olympics in 2008 was viewed as an important factor
for SED. The low prices of competing technologies,
such as LCDs and plasma displays, forced Toshiba and Canon to evaluate ways to
make SEDs cheaper, although in their opinion, the better SED picture should justify
the differences in price.
In October 2006 (CEATEC), Toshiba/Cannon showed several 55” SED panels, and
declared that have found how to manufacture SED 55” TVs at a more competitive
price than anticipated, although they said there should be premium over LCD
competitors justified by the better viewing experience, CR in the order of 50,000:1,
