How LCD screens work: The Engineer Guy

Ah, another inferior technology made successful by draconian IP law and questionable business practices.

Care to elaborate for the ignorant among us (i.e. me)?


It seems I'm mixing up my stories, actually. The tech I was thinking of was SED, a display technology under development primarily by Canon/Toshiba.

While there was a lawsuit that delayed that, it seems it didn't go on for very long and ultimately Canon killed the product themselves, for reasons unknown.

It's unfortunate because SED was really a combination of all the best features of LCD and CRT combined in one. I had a pretty nice, if aging, CRT when I learned about SED and my original plan was to hold out for SED and skip LCD all together. Eventually my CRT (a 19" Sony Trinitron) got too old and I was forced to buy new. I got a 24" Samsung, one of the best LCDs on the consumer market at the time, and I've never really been happy with it. I still wish there was a better option.
