Motorola unveils carbon nanotube emissive display for flat-panel TVs

MANHASSET, N.Y. — Motorola Labs, the applied research arm of Motorola Inc., on Monday (May 9) unveiled a prototype color display based on carbon nanotube technology. Motorola said its prototype could lead to development of large flat-panel TV screens that cost less but sacrifice no performance compared with existing displays.

Called nano-emissive displays (NED), the technology stems from ongoing research conducted by Motorola Labs (Schaumberg, Ill.) on using carbon nanotube technology for flat-panel displays. The company built the prototype after developing a scalable technology designed to grow carbon nanotubes directly on glass.

Other research efforts aimed at using carbon nanotubes to fabricate displays use a less efficient pasting method to attach the nanotubes on the glass, according to Vida Ilderem, vice president and director of Motorola's Embedded Systems and Physical Sciences Center of Excellence.

"We believe our solution is less expensive than field-emissive displays and plasma displays," said Ilderem in an interview with EE Times. "We're aiming at large displays for the TV" market.

Sure it's cheap, but how does it hold up against the image quality of Plasma displays?

Sacrificing performance is one thing, seeing the real deal in motion is another.

I'm still waiting on technology that combines the best aspects of Plasma, DLP, and LCD into one sweet package.

What about the life of your Plasma display and the "Image Persistence/Burning problem" ?

CNT should offer the best of CRT (it is CRT really, you just have basically one or more cannons per group of phosphores [sitting real close-by]instead of one large cannon guided by powerful magnets) with the thickness offered by LCD-TV's.

He's right, the press release was issued just the other day.
