Our prediction comes true: SED will not sell consumers this year

The Japan Stock Blog notes that Canon and Toshiba have postponed their introduction of silicon emission display technology by more than a year. I had predicted that SED panels would not establish a beachhead with consumers this year after CES 2006. Why? Because tried-and-true plasma and LCD technologies are farther along their learning curves. Therefore they can improve their quality faster than Canon and Toshiba can drive down costs for a brand-new technology. Apparently Canon and Toshiba did that calculation as well. They now plan to introduce panels in June 2007.
