"At the Display 2005 event held in Tokyo on April 20, 2005, SED (Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display) Inc., a joint venture formed by Canon Inc. and Toshiba Corp., unveiled a SED panel with the contrast ratio boosted to approximately 100,000:1. The company's first SED panel revealed at CEATEC JAPAN 2004 only achieved a contrast ratio of 8,600:1. The key factor behind the sharp rise in contrast ratio is a broad reduction in black luminance. Black luminance has been reduced to 0.003 cd/m2, from the previous prototypes' 0.04 cd/m2."
That contrast ratio sure sounds impressive and must be what all professional photographers would like to see on their LCD screens. I wonder how long it will take before we start seeing this sweet screen on the market.
