Sony To Followup LCD with FED

Its no secret that Sony is forefront of the next generation of TV’s that are here to replace both Plasma and the LCD and who better to lead that then the king of TV’s; Sony. With that being said, Sony isnt putting all their eggs in the OLED basket and as amazing as these TV’s are, they still have a long way to go in becoming more stable (being able to produce sizes higher then 11″ and 27″) and being afforadble (current 11″ costs a nice $2,500). With that, comes a new generation of TV’s called, FED (Field Emission Display).

FED is built on the same concept of the tube television, but its extremely super thin (think LCD) but it has all the qualities to be next gen, like deep blacks and zero motion blur. Another benefit of this new standard is that their extremely easy to build in larger sizes, especially compared to the OLED according to Nikkei.

With that in mind, it seems that Sony is eager to begin production as soon as Holiday 2009 by taking over a plant ran by Pioneer. But like any new technology comes the adaptation rate and mass production capabilities and so Sony is first going to push these displays to broadcasting and medical agencies first, building them up slowly, rather then releasing them in mass sizes and attempting to take them head to head with the current standard of LCD’s.
