When the world is moving toward the next generation power saving OLED Television’s. Sony has introduced a new technology called Field Emission Display which is similar to CRT technology but the major difference being the size. FED displays are super thin.

Sony introduced a 19.2 inch FED panel. The specifications of this FED display are quite interesting with 1,280×960px resolution, a brightness of 400cd/m2, a contrast of 20,000: 1 and 0.306mm pixel pitch.
The FED display technology uses the same principles as CRT and is supposed to have better picture quality than LCD and Plasma panels and has low power consumption.
FED is not SED, but also not that different. First FED panel TVs are earliest to be expected in 2009.

Sony’s plans for FED displays are to push them to broadcasting and medical apps first, building slowly, rather than to jump right into the high-stakes plasma/LCD war, where nobody’s making money thanks to the very bloody price war. Then it’ll inch into the consumer market, first with 60-inch displays.

Looks like after plasma vs. LCD, we might have yet another fight on our hands: FED vs. OLED.  Sony is coming up with another war of technology. Some of the competing technologies bought in my sony are

* SONY’s Betamax video std & JVC’s VHS video std

* SONY’s Blu-ray & Toshiba’s HD Dvd

* SONY’s FED & OLED
