Short for Nano Emissive Display, NED is the
technology that enables manufacturers to design large flat panel displays that
exceed the image quality characteristics of plasma and LCD screens at a lower
cost. * Instead of using either one cathode ray tube (CRT) or millions of tiny
LED lights to project a video image, NED uses millions of accelerated electrons
charged by just 5 to 10 volts of electricity, compared with 5,000 volts for
large-screen, high-definition LCDs. The electrons shoot toward a phosphor plate,
creating the moving image. This technique requires less voltage than a CRT.

Move Over Plasma TVs: Nano-Screens Are Coming The wafer-thin display -- it's just one-eighth of an inch thick -- is actually just one section of a theoretical 42-inch television, which could be mounted on a wall and play DVD movies that look just as bright and clear as they would on LCDs.
