Toshiba and Canon estimated a production
level of 65,000 SED TVs per month when
their plant becomes fully operational, a level
that was said to be increased to meet their
goal.
In December 2006, after a series of delays
Toshiba anticipated that “the company will
not be showing SED at CES 2007”, it is
uncertain how this cancellation and the legal
situation with the license would further
postpone the introduction, but judging by the
accelerated drop in price of LCD and plasma
panels during 2006 the prospective of
introducing SED as competitor technology has
become more difficult.
This time the delay has been caused by other reasons, not by a technical issue, but
rather a legal issue between Canon and Nano-Proprietary regarding the licensing for
the development of Canon’s SED TVs. Please see the legal situation covered at the
start of this section.
