ROLL NO:24
 INTRODUCTION

 developing since 1987

 flat panel display technology -SED

 basic theory -electrons can excite a phosphor coating

 electrons tunnel when bombarded by moderate voltages

 electrons excite phosphor coating

advantage-provide with a best mix of both the technologies

combine the slim form factor of LCD’s with the superior contrast ratios

exceptional response time

better picture quality

more brightness, color performance

viewing angles

consumes very less power

do not require a deflection system for the electron beam

typically as wide as they are deep

Plasma TV

close to black colour

gray levels actually showing up
pixels in a Plasma panel are inherently digital

LCD

latency has been a problem

limited angle of view
false contouring
 HISTORY

Canon began SED research in 1986

2004, Toshiba and Canon announced a joint development agreement

2006 Consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Toshiba showed working
prototypes of SEDs

formation of SED Inc. in 2004 was certainly an acknowledgement by Canon

will see a Canon SED TV display at both CEATEC in Japan starting September 30th
and CES2009 in Las Vegas next January

Canon has a reissue patent covering SED TV technology

 WORKING

Electrons are emitted from the electron emission region

miniature CRTs are called Surface Conducting Electron emitters

(SCEs)

three SCEs for every pixel -- one each for Red, Green and Blue

widescreen, high definition set can have more than 6 million

SCEs

SCEs arranged in a matrix

includes an electron-emitting device

portion of the insulating layer is between the electrodes

-contains fine particles of an electron emitting substance
 WORKING

when the SED-TV receives a signal:

A.Decodes the signal

B.Decides what to do with the red, green and blue aspect of each pixel

C. Activates the necessary SCEs, which generate electrons that fly through
the vacuum to the screen

When the electrons hit the phosphors

brain combines them to form a cohesive picture.
creates the entire picture every time.
 FABRICATION OF NANO GAPS

electron guns of SED

palladium strip fabricated by hydrogen absorption under

high-pressure treatment

edge roughness of the nanogap improves the electron

emission chara

current is dependent upon the angle of inclination of surface

Hydrogen plasma treatment is used to increase the edge

roughness

For separation of 90 nm, the turn-on voltage significantly

reduces from 60 to 20 V

 ADVANTAGES

SED TV Compared to CRT

SED is flat

all the advantages of a CRT display ,need only a few inches of thickness

Screen size can be made as large

CRTs can have image challenges around the far edges

 ADVANTAGES

SED TV Compared to Plasma TV

close to black, gray levels actually showing up

SED's black detail should be better

use only half the power that a Plasma does

 ADVANTAGES

SED TV Compared to LCD

latency has been a problem

no motion blur in SED

LCDs still suffer from motion blur

a limited angle of view and become too dim to view off axis

Full dynamic contrast range

LCD not being susceptible to burn-in which any device using phosphors

SED is likely to use about two-thirds the power

LCD suffers from the same black level issues and solarization
 DISADVANTAGES

susceptible to screen burn-in

with phosphor development,Problem reduced.

 FEATURES

 Contrast ratio 50,000:1.

Response time 0.2 milliseconds.

 Brightness of 450 cd/m2.

 180º Viewing angle.

 Viewable in Bright room

 It can be used in Mobile device display

 Low power consumption.

 Longer life expectancy

 CONCLUSION

SED will be the next generation display technology

in the near by future.Hopefully we will see a Canon
SED TV display at both CEATEC in Japan starting
September 30th and CES2009 in Las Vegas next January.
Reissue patent covering SED TV technology may be
the beginning of Canon’s attempt to produce SED
panels without using the Nano-Proprietary patented
technology.
