NED
Last modified: Wednesday, September 14, 2005
Short for Nano Emissive Display, NED is the
technology that enables manufacturers to design large flat panel displays that
exceed the image quality characteristics of plasma and LCD screens at a lower
cost. * Instead of using either one cathode ray tube (CRT) or millions of tiny
LED lights to project a video image, NED uses millions of accelerated electrons
charged by just 5 to 10 volts of electricity, compared with 5,000 volts for
large-screen, high-definition LCDs. The electrons shoot toward a phosphor plate,
creating the moving image. This technique requires less voltage than a CRT.

Move Over Plasma TVs: Nano-Screens Are Coming The wafer-thin display -- it's just one-eighth of an inch thick -- is actually just one section of a theoretical 42-inch television, which could be mounted on a wall and play DVD movies that look just as bright and clear as they would on LCDs.
