I haven't been following CREE lately. My own personal experience
with silicon carbide is that it is a difficult material to work
with. Is CREE using gallium nitride for blue LEDs now?

I don't see anyone making full color LED displays anytime soon.
It would take a rather large MBE system, and a process that allowed
GaN, GaAs, and AlGaAs to all coexist without cross contamination.
Sounds possible, but not terribly practical. My own, admittedly
biased, view is that FEDs are going to be easier to mass produce,
but LEDs may have advantages in the long run in efficiency and speed.

Please let us know what CREE has been up to if you are aware.
