Short for Field Emission Display, it is a flat-panel display where a grid of electron emitters are controlled by cold cathodes to generate color light. FEP technology combines flat panel technology with the high quality of a CRT display but requires less power than a CRT. This technology was first announced by Candescent Technologies under the name "ThinCRT", but in 2004, Candescent filed for bankruptcy. Presently PixTech, Inc. is one company using FED technology.
Candescent Technologies Corporation In 1990 Candescent Technologies Corporation developed a revolutionary new flat panel display called the "ThinCRT." The ThinCRTTM is a dramatic improvement over the current displays used in notebook computers and other electronic devices, providing better picture quality and competitive cost. LEP and FED Whitepaper No sooner than the TFT LCD became technologically competitive with the incumbent Cathode Ray Tube display, and gained broader acceptance in the marketplace, challengers for its position have begun to appear. The second wave in flat panel display technology is rapidly approaching production, and promises to exceed the impressive capabilities of the TFT LCD.	related categories: Flat-Panel displays related terms: Carbon Nanotube Technology cathode ray tube CRT display display screen flat screen flat-panel display flicker LCD LEP NED Shopping FED Products Compare Products,Prices and Stores Shop by Category: Office Supplies 288 Store Offers Sport and Outdoor 1063 Store Offers Food and Drink 128 Store Offers Pets 804 Store Offers Tools and Accessories 483 Store Offers
