Move Over Plasma TVs: Nano-Screens Are Coming

Technology Review has a good article on the emerging technology of carbon nanotube displays.

I mentioned NEDs (nano emissive displays) on the show, last Sunday and the promise Motorola sees in them to increase image quality at a much, much lower price than current flat panel displays. Other companies are researching in the same area, too, though Motorola seems ahead of the bunch, at least for now.

NEDs are not the only technology being researched as an alternative to LCD and plasma displays. There will be a horse race between the various approaches and there may be more than one type of display to come out ahead enough to be produced in quantity. These are early days. It's going to be interesting to watch.
