Bob and others - Here is a blurb from the Popular Science article. Also, I listed a link below that provides a plethora of detailed info, including some specs, about HGED. (Off their website..a compilation of media articles.)If any of this sheds any light on my previous questions, please let me know. Thanks again. > With the cost of flat-screen TVs hovering in the stratosphere (anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 for a 42-inch model), a new technology promises to deliver crisp, compact viewing at a much lower price -- $2,000 or less. The High-Gain Emissive Display (HGED) technology uses color phosphors similar to those in conventional cathode-ray tubes, modified to operate at extremely low voltage (under 100 volts). The matrix doesn't require transistors to address the pixels -- the phosphors are excited by electrons guided to the grid through special technology being developed by Telegen Corp., which claims several patents on the process. And because the HGED technology doesn't require the clean room conditions and micron tolerances of the other technologies, the HGED screens are less expensive to produce (about $1.30 per square inch versus $16 for LCD or plasma). In addition, unlike LCD screens, the viewing angle on an HGED product is not restricted. Telegen says its first HGED product will be a 20-inch desktop PC monitor, to be manufactured under license by IPC-Transtech, located in Singapore.
