Field Emission Displays


What is an FED?

This technology is essentially a flat cathode ray tube with a thousand cathodes (emitters) per pixel eliminating thereby the long throw distance of the single scanning electron beam of the CRT. Most of the advantages of CRT image quality accrue, without the bulk or power inefficiency of the deflection system, and shadow mask.
