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."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/SuperBrightScreen.jpg" /><br /><br />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.
