Its been a long time since we heard something about SED-TV. But new this is really a exciting news message. Bloomberg reports via Ashai that Canon plans to develop surface-conduction electron-emitter display, SED-televisions using its own technology. The Ashai newspaper doesnt give us the source!

Canon has been involved in a patent dispute with U.S.- based Nano-Proprietary Inc., which prevented the Japanese company from putting SED flat-panel televisions on the market in 2007 as originally planned, the newspaper said today.

Canon now aims to mass produce the televisions, according to the report.
