I am long and loved today's action, but it looks like carbon nanotubes might be some competition for LEDs in the coming few years:

Another trick is that when a voltage is applied along a nanotube, it shoots out electrons, like a cathode ray tube at the back of a television tube, but much, much smaller.

"We basically take the C.R.T. and flatten it by putting millions of electron guns instead of one gun," said Dr. Zvi Yaniv, president of SI Diamond Technology of Austin, Tex. SI Diamond has developed nanotube displays for lighted billboards like those in Times Square, but at a quarter of the cost of L.E.D.'s.

Samsung of Korea has also latched onto this idea and plans to begin selling large flat-panel televisions that are lighted by thin layers of nanotubes in late 2003.
