Short for Field Emission Display, it is a flat-panel
display where a grid of electron emitters are controlled by cold cathodes to
generate color light. FEP technology combines
flat panel technology with the high quality of a CRT display but requires
less power than a CRT. This technology was first announced by Candescent
Technologies under the name "ThinCRT", but in 2004, Candescent filed for
bankruptcy. Presently PixTech, Inc. is one company using FED technology.

The ThinCRTTM is a dramatic improvement over the current displays used in notebook computers and other electronic devices, providing better picture quality and competitive cost.
