Canon is buying out Toshiba's 50 percent stake in their SED flat-panel venture, a move made necessary by a lawsuit from a Texas-based company that claimed its deal to license certain technology to Canon didn't extend to Toshiba.
This is yet another setback for the surface-conduction electron-emitter display rollout, which was already dealt a blow when the two companies decided not to display a previously-announced 55-inch SED at CES because it apparently wasn't ready for primetime. Canon has been saying for years that SED will quickly pick up flat-panel market share because of its price and performance advantages over LCD and plasma, but it seems to me that everyone will already own an HDTV by the time this thing ever gets to market...
