Motorola Debuts Nano-Emissive Flat Screen 285
brain1 writes "PhysOrg is reporting that Motorola has developed a 5" flat-screen prototype display that uses carbon nanotubes. The display appears to promise lower costs for a full 40" HDTV screen bringing the price down to $400. The technology uses standard color TV phosphors, has a response time equaling CRTs', all in a package 1/8" thick. The display characteristics meet or exceed CRTs', such as fast response time, wide viewing angle, and wide operation temperature. All these are areas that LCDs are weak in. Is this the breakthrough we needed to finally make HDTV and flat-panel computer displays *really* affordable?"

Agreed. That's when a shift will be made to improve on mop and wetvac technology

You're on crack. I know a lot of people who've shelled out a lot more than that on smaller CRTs (I dropped $700+ on a Sony Wega a couple years ago).
Especially when you consider for all intensive purposes
<grammar>Not even for the more relaxed purposes!</grammar>

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Lol, reminds me of my physics teacher who told us about a student who answered a question about TV's work. Apparently you have different coloured electrons, red ones, green ones and blue ones.
